This is my "Skinny" version of my fave food! Eat it when I'm trying to lose some weight but don't want to sacrifice on taste!

There's something so comforting about a homemade casserole on a chilly evening, and my Skinny Chicken Broccoli Casserole is the perfect dish for a cozy family dinner. This recipe lightens up the traditional casserole by using healthier alternatives, making it a guilt-free option that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. It's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty meal without the extra calories.

This casserole is a meal in itself, but it pairs wonderfully with a light garden salad dressed with a vinaigrette or a side of steamed vegetables to keep things light and healthy. For those who aren’t watching their waistline as closely, a warm, crusty piece of bread can be delightful for scooping up the creamy sauce.

Servings: 6

2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
4 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup low-fat milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are translucent.

3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onion and garlic, and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes.

4. Gradually add the milk to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.

5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.

6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and creamy sauce from the skillet. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

7. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.

8. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

For those who like a bit of a kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes into the sauce. If you have non-dairy eaters, substitute the Greek yogurt and milk with almond or coconut alternatives and use vegan cheeses. For a gluten-free version, use a suitable gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat.
