Broccoli Chicken Casserole with Cream Cheese

Yield: 4-6 servings

Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

• 5 cups chicken breast
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 8 oz (230g) cream cheese (softened)
• 3/4 cup chicken stock

• 2 broccoli heads (cut into small florets)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• Fresh chopped parsley, or garnish

Directions

1. Bake or sear chicken breasts in a skillet with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Shred the cooked chicken and set aside.
2. Preheat your oven to 400F and lightly grease a baking pan.
3. Spread shredded chicken in the greased dish and sprinkle with minced garlic, red pepper flakes, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
4. In a bowl or a large cup, combine softened cream cheese and chicken stock, until smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken in the baking dish.
5. Top with broccoli florets and shredded mozzarella. Bake the chicken casserole in the oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can broil for a couple of minutes to crisp up the casserole. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
