Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 medium carrot, diced
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, diced carrot, and cauliflower florets to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, low-fat Greek yogurt, chicken broth, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
