Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a small amount of Avocado Oil
Cut the chicken breasts into even 1-inch cubes and season with salt, pepper, and Olive Oil
Quickly steam the broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly firm
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Add water or bone broth if too thick
Combine the chicken and broccoli in the baking dish. Pour the yogurt mixture over the top and toss to coat
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F
Optionally broil for 2 minutes for a golden-brown top, watching closely
Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving

Notes

Ensure broccoli is dry after steaming to avoid a watery casserole.

Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.

Use room temperature yogurt to prevent curdling.

Grate your own cheese for the best melt.
