Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
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 sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and diced carrots 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, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Stir in the low sodium chicken broth and nonfat plain Greek yogurt until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture into a 9×9 inch casserole dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
