If you're worried that this recipe is going to be complicated and take a long time to prepare – you'd be wrong! And although the sauce is homemade, it takes less than five minutes and everything else comes together VERY quickly.
You might be wondering about those noodles! They're Palmini – made from hearts of palm! Very convenient and you can read more here about Palmini Noodles. You can buy them from Amazon and Netrition!
How to Make Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole
The other ingredients are diced cooked chicken, raw broccoli, and an egg! So here's my SUPER easy low carb cheese sauce recipe:
Seriously, after you've made this the first time you'll use it for so many recipes!
While that's cooking, combine the chicken, broccoli and Palmini in a large bowl. By the way, you can also buy Palmini in bags rather than cans!
Add some onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and mix well to combine.
When the cheese sauce is ready, add it to the bowl, together with one beaten egg. Mix everything together, then transfer it to a baking dish.
Cover and roast for 15 minutes, then uncover, and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
Return it to the oven (uncovered) for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is starting to turn golden brown.
Serve this chicken noodle casserole with a fresh green salad!

Hi! I really want to make this, but I don't have broccoli. Is it possible to use green beans instead?
Thanks in advance!
