  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Keto Chicken Alfredo Broccoli Bake

Let’s get cooking!

Step 1: Preheat That Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). A hot oven ensures your bake comes out bubbly and golden. Trust me—you want that cheesy crust!

Step 2: Prep Your Broccoli

  • Fresh broccoli? Give it a quick blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain it. This keeps it tender without turning mushy.
  • Using frozen? Thaw it and drain any excess water. No one wants a watery casserole!

Step 3: Mix the Magic

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

  • Shredded chicken
  • Broccoli florets
  • Heavy cream
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper

Stir until everything is coated in creamy goodness. This is where the magic starts, and your kitchen will already smell amazing.

Step 4: Prep Your Baking Dish

Grease your baking dish (or cast-iron skillet) with olive oil. This helps keep all that cheesy deliciousness from sticking—and makes clean-up a breeze.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake

  • Pour your chicken and broccoli mixture into the greased dish. Spread it evenly so every bite bakes perfectly.
  • Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella on top because…why not?!
  • Slide it into your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Your kitchen will smell like an Italian trattoria at this point.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  • Let it cool for a few minutes (if you can wait!).
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
  • Dig in and savor each creamy, cheesy bite!

Aneta’s Cooking Tips for Keto Chicken Alfredo Broccoli Bake

  • Leftover chicken is your best friend. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe and makes prep even faster.
  • Spice it up! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a gentle kick.
  • Cheese variations: Feel free to swap mozzarella with provolone or gouda for a twist.
  • Avoid soggy casserole syndrome. Drain broccoli thoroughly, especially if using frozen, to keep the bake nice and creamy—not watery.
  • Don’t skip the rest time. Letting it sit for a few minutes after baking helps it set and makes serving much easier.
