Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then cook your chicken however you prefer to shred it. For this recipe, I cook it with 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot for 13 minutes. Manually release the pressure, remove the chicken and shred it.
In a pan on medium-high heat, add mushrooms and onions with 1 tbsp olive oil and saute until the onions are translucent.
In a blender or food processor, combine all of the Cheese Sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Set aside a small amount to top the casserole with.
In a large mixing bowl combine, shredded chicken, broccoli, cooked onions and mushrooms, and the cheese sauce. Mix until everything is coated thoroughly with the cheese sauce.
Spray a casserole dish with your favorite non-stick spray and pour your casserole mix into the pan. Top with the cheese sauce that you set aside. Bake uncovered in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until broccoli gets slightly crispy.
Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Note

If you like rice, you can add cauliflower rice or regular rice.
Sometimes I like to eat this with a little bit of ranch dressing on the side.
You can prep this the night before and bake it the next day.
Don’t be afraid to add any other veggies that sound good into the mix.
