For the Keto Alfredo Sauce:

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Keto Alfredo Sauce

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese, whisking continuously until smooth.
3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Bake

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli.
2. Pour the Alfredo sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
3. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
4. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4: Bake & Serve

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden, crispy cheese topping.
3. Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.

• Use Different Proteins: Swap chicken for cooked shrimp, turkey, or even salmon.
• Add More Veggies: Try adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for extra nutrients.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a little heat.
• Make it Even Creamier: Stir in 1/4 cup of sour cream or mascarpone cheese to the sauce for an ultra-rich texture.
• Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and dairy-free cheese alternatives.

How to Store Leftovers:

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating Instructions:

• Oven: Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
• Microwave: Heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through.

While this dish is satisfying on its own, here are some keto-friendly pairings to complete your meal:
