Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until crisp-tender, then set aside.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
Add the Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Stir in the shredded chicken and broccoli until well coated.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling golden brown.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save significant prep time. Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-grated versions, resulting in a smoother sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
