Low Carb Bacon Chicken Broccoli Casserole
« Reply #-1 on: February 19, 2017, 04:34:11 PM »


The beauty of searching the web for recipes is that you'll find zillions that might meet your life style, diet and tastes. My search for a low carb pulled chicken broccoli casserole yielded this recipe from the 'Joy Filled Eats' website. Since I did not create this recipe, I like to give credit where credit is due. I tweaked the recipe a skosh and the results were scrumptious!

Part of the recipe title had the following initials "THM S". What the heck is THM S you ask? I learned it stands for 'Trim Healthy Mama' and the 'S' is for Satisfying - Low in Carbs - Protein & Fats. Until now I'd never heard of The Trim Healthy Mama Lifestyle but it claims to be a sound, effective and delicious way to eat for health and weight loss. Either way, this was an easy and wonderful tasting recipe.

Now it's no secret that I'm far from being a 'Trim Healthy Mama' but if I continue to eat these kinds of delicious low carb meals I should become more healthy and with some added exercise someday I could be more trim ... Course watching my portion sizes really needs to be a top priority.



Ingredients:  half a pulled Costco rotisserie chicken, 1 lb fresh broccoli steamed to Al Dente, ⅓ lb of crumbled cooked bacon, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp minced onion, 1 tbsp parsley, ½ tsp seasoned salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 8 oz package of cream cheese - softened, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup mayo, and 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Directions:  Preheat oven to 350ºF. Combine cream cheese/sour cream/mayo/spices in a large bowl. Fold in the chicken, broccoli, half the crumbled bacon and 2 cups shredded cheese. Place mixture into a greased 9x13" baking dish. Top with remaining shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. Bake until hot and bubbly for about 35 to 45 minutes.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

I had to make a few tweaks when we made this last night, since I found myself TRAGICALLY without any bacon in the house.  Instead, we topped it with some crumbled spicy pork rinds.     



This stuff is SO tasty.  I'm not a huge broccoli fan, but James and I both had seconds!   I sprinkled a bit of extra minced dried onion on the top of mine for extra crispies, and it was just divine!!   Really excellent with the crunchy pork rinds. 



Pete, James says to tell you "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU" for sharing the recipe.  :)   We both loved it!
