Notes

Pro Tips: For even cooking, cut chicken and broccoli uniformly and avoid overcrowding the baking dish. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). If desired, broil briefly at the end for a golden cheese topping, watching closely.
Serving Suggestions: This bake is a complete meal on its own. Pair it with a simple side salad or low-carb garlic bread.
Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or larger portions in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through.
Variations: Spice it up with red pepper flakes, add extra low-carb vegetables like spinach or zucchini, or experiment with different cheeses such as provolone. Fresh oregano or sun-dried tomatoes can also enhance the flavor.
