It’s an indulgent yet healthy meal that can satisfy both low-carb dieters and those who prefer more traditional fare.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken breast cubed
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces broccoli florets
- 8 ounces cauliflower florets
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
- Cut the chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of butter or oil and cook the chicken cubes until they are lightly browned. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Deglaze the pan with chicken broth to remove any stuck-on bits from the chicken.
- To make the alfredo sauce, add butter, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, heavy cream, half of the mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder to the pan.
- Whisk until everything is combined and melted together. Season the sauce to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Layer the broccoli, cauliflower, and cooked chicken together in an oven-safe dish.
- Pour the alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the vegetables have softened.
- Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot! Enjoy!
