Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli florets
  • 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a medium baking dish (about 8×8 inches).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cubed cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and golden on top.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
  • Use frozen broccoli (thawed and drained) as a convenient option.
  • Swap cheddar for mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Swiss cheese for variation.
  • Make it dairy-free with plant-based yogurt and cheese alternatives.
  • Prepare ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
