Healthy Chicken and Broccoli Oven Bake

This Healthy Chicken and Broccoli Oven Bake is a high-protein, feel-good dinner that practically makes itself: tender chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms baked in a light egg and sour cream sauce under a golden cheese topping. It is filling without feeling heavy. If you love healthy bakes, try our Chicken and Broccoli Cutlets and Chicken and Broccoli Bake with Bechamel Sauce.

Ingredients

• 500 g chicken or turkey breast, diced
• 300 g broccoli florets
• 250 g mushrooms, sliced
• 2 eggs
• 5-6 tbsp sour cream
• 100 g cheese, grated
• Salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste

Instructions

1. Blanch the broccoli for a couple of minutes until just tender.
2. Mix the diced breast, mushrooms, and broccoli in a large bowl.
3. Whisk the eggs with the sour cream, salt, pepper, and paprika.
4. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables and mix well.
5. Transfer to a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes.
6. Remove the foil, sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake 5-10 more minutes until golden.

Tips

• Do not overcook the broccoli before baking — it should stay bright and slightly firm.
• Covering with foil keeps the chicken juicy; the final uncovered bake crisps the cheese.
