Ingredients
Scale
For the Casserole:
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (optional, for added volume)
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and cauliflower rice (if using).
- Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, sour cream, and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and mix in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the cheese sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, remaining cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
