6 cups broccoli small florets blanched to soften
8 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup chicken broth
½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1 tsp Italian seasonings
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp xanthan gum
3 cloves garlic pressed
1 cup cheddar shredded

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400*
Shred chicken and place to cover the bottom of the casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Put broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove broccoli from boiling water and put over the chicken in the casserole dish.
In a large bowl whisk together softened cream cheese with chicken broth. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic, xanthan gum and shredded mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
Place diced chicken in the bottom of a casserole dish. Cover chicken with the blanched broccoli florets. Spread cream cheese mixture over the broccoli and chicken.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar to cover the casserole. Place casserole in 400* oven for 20 minutes.
Optional….Turn the oven to broil. Set the timer for 1-2minutes just to brown and crisp the cheese on top.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

*For the chicken you can use 1-2 store bought rotisserie chickens or boil 1.5-2 lbs chicken breasts for 10 minutes in the same boiling water you used for the broccoli...just don't boil together.
