Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed rotisserie works great!)
2 cups broccoli florets, lightly steamed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or mix with feta for a Mediterranean flair)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred for creaminess)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Optional garnish: Fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Chicken & Broccoli:
Use leftover, grilled, or rotisserie chicken. Steam broccoli for about 3–4 minutes until just tender.
3. Mix Creamy Yogurt Sauce:
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and half the Parmesan. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Combine in a Casserole Dish:
Mix the chicken and broccoli in a baking dish. Pour over the creamy sauce and stir gently to coat evenly.
5. Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle mozzarella and feta (if using) over the top. Add the rest of the Parmesan.
6. Bake Until Bubbly:
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is golden and melted.

Finish with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon for a fresh, zesty finish.
