Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare vegetables: If using fresh broccoli and cauliflower, steam them until tender but still crisp. If using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained well.

      Mix chicken and veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, and cauliflower florets. Toss them together gently.

        Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

          Combine: Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken and vegetable mixture; fold until everything is evenly coated.

            Transfer to a casserole dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread it evenly.

              Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese if using.

                Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                  Cool and serve: Once baked, let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This will help it firm up a bit for easier serving.

                    Enjoy your delicious Easy Low Carb Chicken Casserole as a comforting meal that fits perfectly into your low-carb lifestyle!
