This new recipe Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Casserole People who don’t like curry powder have been asked many times on Facebook what to use for their cheese chicken broccoli curry casserole. And one day after about four people asked me for it, the idea came to my mind to make a creamy casserole of chicken and broccoli without curry.

Kara and I tried this recipe a few times, but ended up loving it best with a pack of Costco rotisserie chicken and a jar of Alfredo sauce. For those who don’t want to use such convenience goods, we will also introduce how to make homemade sauce and how to make chicken breast.

The casserole was also loaded with cheese, using a product from Kroger called the Alpine Blend, which is a mixture of chunky shredded Swiss and Gruyère cheeses, paired with a dollop of Parmesan on top. Any Swiss cheese is fine. If you like the idea of a cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole, try this recipe.

Why Use Rao’s Alfredo Sauce?

We love Rao’s Pasta Sauce, both for flavor and low carb. However, they are definitely more expensive than some brands. Or if you want to make your own sauce, creamy cauliflower sauce Also keto alfredo sauce This recipe does the trick.

If you don’t want to buy rotisserie chicken breast for this recipe:

For the chicken, I used about 2 pounds of Costco rotisserie chicken breast. However, if you prefer to cook and chop the chicken yourself, you can use four medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Cook until cooked through, but don’t overdo it. (Incompletely cooked chicken will release liquid when cooking in the casserole is complete.)

Can I use more broccoli in this recipe?

I used 6 cups of broccoli pieces for this casserole, but if you like a lot of broccoli, you can safely add 1-2 cups more.

How to make Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Casserole:

(This is just a summary of the recipe steps. Scroll down for the full printable recipe, or use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page to go directly to the full recipe. increase.)

Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Finely chop the onion, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, and sauté until the onion is slightly browned. Add minced garlic and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Once the onions and garlic are cooked through, add the Alfredo sauce, chicken seasoning, ground thyme, seasoning spikes, black pepper, and sour cream. Stir and start simmering over low heat.
Cut a rotisserie chicken (or chicken breast you cooked yourself) and add it to the sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces, place in a bowl (or a large 8-quart measuring cup like I used), and microwave the broccoli for 1-2 minutes, depending on how you prefer to cook it.
Gently stir the partially cooked broccoli into the chicken sauce mixture. Add 1 cup of grated Swiss cheese and mix gently.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.
Top with remaining Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until surface is charred.
Serve hot.
This will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Broccoli softens a little when frozen, but freezing, thawing, and reheating doesn’t hurt.
