Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken breasts (Cut into 1 inch cubes.)
- McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning (to taste)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 tablespoon xanthan gum
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (I used a brand that has zero carbs.)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 15 oz frozen broccoli (I used the packaged steamable kind to save time.)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil, onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chicken cubes to the skillet and season with the chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring and flipping the chicken until it is no longer pink on each side.
- Remove the chicken, onions, and garlic and set aside on a plate.
- Add the butter to the skillet on medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt and then add the xanthan gum. Use a whisk and stir until combined. This will create a roux and the sauce should thicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth. Whisk to combine. Then add the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Whisk. Lower the heat to medium and allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes until thick.
- When thickened, add the cooked, steamed broccoli and stir. Then pour the mixture into the casserole dish with the chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese throughout the top.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the cheese begins to bubble.
- Cool before serving.
