An oven dish is very easy! Everything in one bowl, help in the oven and then enjoy. Personally, I don't think broccoli is very pronounced in terms of taste. Of course you recognize the taste when you put it in your mouth, but just like cauliflower I think it is a bit “cowardly”. Well this dish gets some spice because we chili flakes to use! These dried pepper flakes give your broccoli casserole a lot of spice. Delicious Low carb broccoli chicken cheddar casserole from the oven
A low carb broccoli cheddar casserole is the good choice for those looking for a nutritious and low-carb meal. You have complete freedom in how much of each ingredient you add, although it is advisable not to sprinkle too liberally. We deliberately leave out pasta or potatoes from this dish, and surprisingly you won't miss it. This generously filled dish is packed with flavor in itself, thanks to the combination of broccoli, melting cheddar and other delicious herbs. Delicious for a cozy family dinner or as a warming meal on a cold evening.
Low carb broccoli cheddar casserole
You can vary the herbs in this broccoli casserole. I used the Italian spice mix, but you can also use my persillade spice mix, or greek spice mix. The cheddar cheese used melts well, but here too you are of course free to use other types of cheese. Try this oven dish with cauliflower, zucchini or bell pepper. You already read, the possibilities are endless. If you don't eat low-carb, you could mix cooked macaroni or boiled potatoes through the dish.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

- In the frying pan fry the chopped onion until translucent and add the bacon. Bake until crispy and then spoon into the baking dish with the chicken.
- Divide the broccoli over the dish and sprinkle with the chili flakes, the cheddar and, if desired, some salt and pepper.
