BROCCOLI CHICKEN AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
I don’t know about you but I love making casseroles for dinner. The only problem with casseroles are that sometimes they aren’t exactly Weight Watchers friendly. That is one of the reasons I absolutely love this Broccoli Chicken and Cheese Casserole! It’s easy to make and absolutely delish!
Another one of my favorite things about making casseroles are that it’s a great way to get the kids to eat vegetables without realizing they are actually eating them! For me, that’s always a win-win.
If your family enjoys casseroles like mine does, here are a few suggestions for some simple and tasty casserole recipes. One of our favorites is my Green Bean Casserole. Another favorite dish is my Breakfast Casserole. Of course another recipe that I think you will love is my Shepherd’s Pie.
Before you get started on this Weight Watchers Recipe, here are a few tips and suggestions.
How Many Weight Watchers Points in this Casserole
This is a great tasting Weight Watchers Casserole that is so filling and absolutely delicious. No one would know it is low in points. The points listed here are based on using fat free cream cheese and fat free sour cream as well as low fat or fat free cheese. In this recipe, it does not matter if you use low fat cheddar or fat free. The points are the same. Since some people say that they do not like the way that fat free cheese melts, this can be a benefit. If you want to reduce the points even more, you can reduce the cheese even more, but for me, I love me some cheese

This casserole is extremely easy to make. Start with a preheated 350 degree oven.
You want to steam the broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the broccoli in the bowl with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. Once it is done, drain the water and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper to the broccoli and mix it all together to form the broccoli chicken and cheese casserole.
Mix in the chicken and add it all to a 9*13 casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooling spray. Spread it evenly in the pan and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake the chicken broccoli casserole for 10-12 minutes. Broil the chicken casserole for 3 to 5 minutes to get the cheese golden brown.
