What's better than a broccoli cheddar casserole? A high-protein broccoli cheddar casserole! This creamy high-protein broccoli cheese casserole recipe with ground chicken is delicious and nutritious.
This cheesy high-protein casserole recipe is so flavorful. It's loaded with healthy broccoli and onions (check out the health benefits of broccoli and the health benefits of onions). Plus, the wholesome skillet casserole is packed with protein, thanks to the ground chicken and Greek yogurt. Check out the health benefits of protein and the health benefits of Greek yogurt.
Here's the gluten-free list of ingredients you'll need to gather for this one-pan dinner recipe: extra virgin olive oil, onion, minced garlic, broccoli, ground chicken, plain Greek yogurt and shredded cheddar cheese. You combine everything in the skillet on the stovetop then bake it until it's a bubbling golden brown.
I served this easy and delicious high-protein meal for dinner over white rice, but it would be amazing with potatoes or pasta or all by itself. A true crowd-pleaser!
