Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using fresh broccoli, blanch in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then drain. For frozen broccoli, thaw and drain any excess water.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, heavy cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is coated.
- Grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet with olive oil.
- Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly into the dish.
- Sprinkle extra mozzarella on top for more cheesy goodness.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for better blending. Drain broccoli thoroughly to avoid a watery bake. Consider flavor variations like adding sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms.
