Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¾ teaspoon dried chives
  • ¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded and divided
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the broccoli florets in a pot of water over medium-high heat on the stove, bring to a boil and blanch for 5 minutes. Immediately rinse in cold water and drain.
  • Add the broccoli to the bottom of a well greased 9x9 casserole dish.
  • Mix the chicken pieces with chives, parsley, dill weed, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat completely.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the seasoned chicken to the heated skillet, and saute until completely cooked through.
  • Place 2 teaspoon of minced garlic into the pan with the chicken and saute 30 seconds longer.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it into the casserole dish with the broccoli.
  • Reduce the heat on the stove to medium, and add the heavy whipping cream to the same skillet you used to prepare the chicken. Use a whisk to scrape the browned bits off of the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook the heavy cream for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
  • Add ½ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese to the skillet. Mix in salt and pepper to taste if desired.
  • Pour the thickened cheese mixture over the broccoli and chicken in the casserole dish. Toss to coat well.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the mixture in the casserole dish.
  • Top the casserole with the crumbled bacon and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until browned and bubbling.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
