Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the broccoli florets for 5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, sautéed onion and garlic, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture into a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
