**High-Protein Garlic Parmesan Chicken Broccoli Bake 🍗🧄🧀**
A creamy, cheesy, American-style high-protein bake with tender chicken, soft broccoli, and rich garlic Parmesan flavor in every bite. It is warm, satisfying, and a delicious change from enchilada bakes, sweet potato casseroles, and stuffed pepper recipes while still feeling simple and comforting.
**Ingredients (Serves 4)**
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 3 cups broccoli florets, lightly steamed
• 3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup light cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
**Instructions**
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, olive oil, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish, top with mozzarella, and bake for 18–20 minutes until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden. Finish with chopped parsley before serving.
