Chicken, Cheese, and Broccoli Bake (Keto Approved)

I tried a new recipe the other day from Julia's Album.  Since I had chicken on hand, and lots of left over cheese from my daughter's 6th birthday party, I went looking for something I could do with it on Pinterest.  This recipe is pretty good and easy to make.  Here's what I did:

Ingredients:
A few pieces of chicken (the recipe online says to get thin chicken breasts -- I used chicken thighs for this)
Salt and Pepper
Cheese (the recipe online says to use two types of cheese -- I just used the taco cheese I had available)
Broccoli
Bacon

First, take out a baking dish and spray it with butter/olive oil spray (If you are on the Keto diet -- you will note that vegetable oil isn't allowed). 
Make your chicken as thin as possible -- if you have the thin chicken breasts, you won't need to do anything here -- I had to pull my thighs apart (HAHA!)). 
Place it in the baking dish and shake on salt and pepper (see pic below).



Next, take two cups of broccoli that has been blanched (boiled for a few minutes) and place it over the chicken. 
Take 6 strips of cooked and crumbled bacon and throw on top of chicken too.
Add 1 or more cups of cheese - the recipe online calls for 1 cup of cheddar and 1/3 cup of mozzarella.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick your chicken is).



Voila!


My kids ate it -- and so did my husband (although, he pulled the broccoli off it and put it on a sandwich - ha!). 

I would do this recipe again.
