Prep:
15 minutes
Cook:
30 minutes
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups roughly chopped broccoli
1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup cheddar cheese powder (like the kind by Healthier Comforts)
2 tbsp. fat-free plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp. ranch dressing/dip seasoning mix
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
12 oz. cooked skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray.
Place broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover and microwave for 3 1/2 minutes, or until hot and tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, cheese powder, yogurt, ranch seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until mostly smooth and uniform.
Drain broccoli, and add it to the bowl of sauce. Add chicken and onion. Stir until well mixed and coated. Transfer mixture to the baking pan, and smooth out the surface.
Top with remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Bake until entire dish is hot and cheese has melted, 20–25 minutes.

Hold The Pickle Taco Tuesday Blend
We've been into pickle seasoning mixes for a while, so we jumped at the chance to try this Tex-Mex-style version! It tastes like a deli sandwich with a kick—there's a zippy spice to it, but the pickle flavors and hint of caraway make it distinctly sandwich-like. Try it in dilly recipes like these bagel bites or these chicken nuggets for an extra-flavorful twist. Other applications: deli-style salads (like egg, tuna, and chicken), yogurt dips, burger patties, and salad dressings.Chew on this:
