About this Recipe
Craving a comforting, hearty meal that aligns with your keto, low-carb, or paleo lifestyle? This Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole delivers on all fronts, providing a satisfying, flavor-packed dish that's also naturally gluten-free.
What makes this casserole truly shine is its clever design, perfectly blending rich flavors with strict dietary needs. Using full-fat coconut milk (or heavy cream if you prefer) creates an incredibly creamy base, while shredded chicken and tender broccoli florets offer robust texture. It's a comforting classic reimagined to be completely free of sugar and starchy ingredients, making it an ideal choice even for a 21-day sugar detox.
You'll discover a deeply savory casserole with a wonderfully creamy texture that coats every bite of tender chicken and vibrant broccoli.

It's a surprisingly simple dish that feels incredibly indulgent, perfect for warming you from the inside out and leaving you feeling satisfied and nourished without any heavy after-effects.
Tailor this casserole to your preferences and dietary goals with a few simple adjustments. If you're looking to cut down on carbs even further, feel free to use only half of the diced white onion. For a richer, dairy-forward flavor, you can swap the full-fat coconut milk for an equal amount of heavy cream. And for an extra layer of warmth, the touch of nutmeg is completely optional, allowing you to fine-tune the spices to your liking.
This versatile casserole is a perfect centerpiece for a busy weeknight family dinner or a cozy weekend meal. Serve it warm and bubbly directly from the dish for a delightful, wholesome experience.
