Description
A comforting and creamy casserole that combines tender chicken, gooey cheese, and fresh veggies for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 cups Broccoli
- 2 cups Cauliflower
- Salt (adjust to taste)
- Pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley or Basil
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Cook the vegetables: If using fresh broccoli and cauliflower, chop them into small florets. You can add them to the skillet for about 3-4 minutes.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning, then fold in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Combine everything: In a large baking dish, combine the sautéed chicken, veggies, and Alfredo sauce.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes.
- Garnish: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley or basil over the top before serving.

For best results, use fresh ingredients and adjust seasonings to your taste. Let the casserole rest before serving for better texture.
