INGREDIENT NOTES:

CREAM CHEESE:

• This creamy chicken and broccoli bake has fewer carbs and more richness due to the cream cheese. Replace it with ricotta and mascarpone cheese if you want to remain on a keto diet.

MOZZARELLA:

• We utilize mozzarella cheese because it melts smoothly and gives this meal a flexible texture. This recipe can be made without dairy by using provolone or cheddar cheese.

CHICKEN:

• This is a lean, high-protein, or low-carb component. For the ideal result, you can substitute the rotisserie chicken, but be sure to thoroughly read the directions.

HEAVY CREAM:

• This cream has fewer carbs and a smooth, tender texture. To make this dish dairy-free, substitute it with high-fat coconut cream.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• This dish’s cheesy flavor comes from its low-carb level. The fat in this recipe is healthful. Use pecorino romano if you are unable to obtain Parmesan.
