We broil the casserole to melt the cheese, but you can also bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees until the cheese has melted. And speaking of cheese, you are welcome to use any cheese that melts well like cheddar, Gruyere, or Fontana. You can even add all of them if desired!

How to make Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole
Step 1: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli to the skillet once the butter has melted and saute for about 4 minutes until bright green and just tender. To a bowl, transfer the broccoli.
Step 2: In the pan, melt the rest of the butter. Once melted, add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute until aromatic. Then, add the cream and bring to simmer. Continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until reduced by about half.
Step 3: Whisk in half c mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Next, add the broccoli and chicken. Stir well and top with the rest of the 1 c mozzarella cheese.
Step 4: Prepare the broiler and preheat it. Place the pan around 6 inches from the heat and broil for about 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is starting to brown.
