Chicken Broccoli Cheese Casserole
I am a sucker for broccoli cheese casserole…a SUCKER. It’s my favorite dish at every family potluck! But I do not love all the fat/calories that usually comes with it.
Instead of busting your entire macro budget for the day, make this recipe instead. Substituting fat-free or low-fat mozzarella/cheddar for the full fat version and cottage cheese instead of mayo, plus adding some chicken for body + protein, you’ve got a healthy, delicious meal that is packed with nutritional goodness.
This recipe is completely customizable too! You can add ANY veggies, seasonings, meats, etc. that you have on hand. Riced cauliflower, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms…the possibilities are endless!
With only 6 ingredients and less than 30 minutes from start to finish, this dish will become a family favorite! Or be stingy and make ahead for your weekly meal prep…either way, you get to enjoy :)
All you need is:
1/2 cup Fat Free Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Rotisserie Chicken
1 Head of Broccoli
2 cups Cottage Cheese
2 Eggs
Preferred Seasonings (to taste)
To Make:
First, chop and blanch broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. You want your broccoli bright in color, but still have a good “snap.”
Mix cottage cheese, 1/2 the mozzarella/cheddar, eggs, 1/2 the parmesan, and seasonings together. Add in rotisserie chicken and broccoli; mix to coat.
Pour into either individual oven-safe glass prep dishes or 9x9 greased glass dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until edges are browning and crispy.
Enjoy!
