Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1/2 small onion (finely chopped)

  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets (lightly steamed)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp paprika


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Mix the Base: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.

  • Add Chicken & Veggies: Fold in cooked chicken and broccoli until well coated.

  • Assemble: Pour mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and top with shredded cheese.

  • Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

 

  • Cool & Serve: Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time.

Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.

Add a crispy topping with crushed pork rinds or almond flour crumbs.

Easily customizable with other low-carb veggies like spinach or zucchini.
