Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 celery stick diced about ½ cup
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • 1 8oz block cream cheese, cut into 6-8 pieces
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound cooked chicken cubed

Optional:

  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • Or
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole and set aside.
  • Place broccoli in a pot of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  • Using a slotted spoon remove broccoli and let it drain completely.
  • In a large pot or dutch oven melt butter on medium heat and sauté onion and celery for 3 minutes.
  • Add milk, chicken broth and stir in bouillon. Cook for 3 minutes reduce heat to medium low.
  • Add in cream cheese pieces whisking slowly until it completely dissolves and you get a smooth creamy sauce.
  • Remove from heat and add mayonnaise, sour cream and continue to whisk until they are all creamy and nice.
  • Mix in curry powder if using, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, chicken and cooked broccoli.
  • Pour mixture into your prepared casserole and bake in the middle of your oven for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Top with remaining cheese and return to oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

Notes

  • You can use frozen broccoli in this recipe, you’ll need to thaw first and let them drain excess water then pat dry.
  • Variations:
    • Skip the cheddar cheese at the top and mix two tablespoons of butter with your favorite keto crumbs, or crushed keto crackers, for a crunchy top.
