Cheesy Broccoli Bacon Chicken Casserole image

I created this dish to use the broccoli I had bought for the first time in my life (used to hate the stuff!) and to fit my parents' low carb diet. The fastest way to pre-cook the broccoli, chicken and bacon is by using a combination of the microwave and stovetop. I cooked the bacon and chicken in the microwave--separately--and I steamed the broccoli--but you could also nuke the broccoli and saute the other two).

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make it with rotisserie chicken, but you could also use grilled or baked chicken. The casserole is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheesy

I love this casserole! It's perfect for a weeknight meal because it's so easy to make. I usually use rotisserie chicken, which makes it even faster. My kids love the cheesy broccoli and bacon, and I love that it's a one-dish meal.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I will also try adding some diced jalapenos next time for a little kick.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The cheese sauce and bacon were the perfect complements to the broccoli, and the chicken added a nice protein boost.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen broccoli and cooked chicken, which saved me a lot of time. The casserole was still creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy.
