Ultra-Creamy Low-Carb Broccoli & Chicken Bake (4 Ingredients)

Description

This rich, cheesy broccoli and chicken bake is creamy, filling, and comforting—without flour, grains, or added sugars. Perfect for diabetics and anyone watching blood sugar, it’s oven-baked until bubbly and lightly golden on top.

 Ingredients (4 Main Ingredients)

  1. Cooked chicken breast – 2 cups, diced or cubed

  2. Broccoli florets – 2 cups (fresh or frozen, drained well)

  3. Heavy whipping cream – 1½ cups

  4. Shredded cheese – 1½ cups (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)

Optional (does not count toward main ingredients)

  • Salt & black pepper

  • Garlic powder or onion powder

  • Butter or olive oil for greasing the dish

 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Lightly grease a baking dish.

  3. Spread chicken and broccoli evenly in the dish.

  4. Pour heavy cream over everything.

  5. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.

  6. Season lightly if desired.

  7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

  8. Let rest 5 minutes before serving (it thickens beautifully).

 Notes

  • Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.

  • Drain broccoli well to avoid watery sauce.

  • Mozzarella = extra stretchy

  • Cheddar = sharper flavor

 Pro Tips

  • For extra thickness, simmer the cream for 5 minutes before pouring.

  • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden top.

  • Add a tablespoon of cream cheese if you want ultra richness.
