Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Fresh broccoli - 200 grams
• Cream cheese - 100 grams
• Cheddar cheese (shredded) - 100 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Almond milk - 1/4 cup
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 30 grams

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken breast, seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. While the chicken is cooking, chop the broccoli into small florets and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and almond milk until smooth. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, cut it into bite-sized pieces and mix it with the blanched broccoli in a baking dish.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken and broccoli, mixing well to coat everything evenly.
7. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Remove from oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
