Easy low carb chicken, broccoli, and cheddar skillet! The best simple dinner to whip up that will give you lots of protein and veggies packed into one meal.
This meal takes one of the best flavor combinations, broccoli and cheddar, and adds shredded rotisserie chicken and bone broth for a big protein boost. The use of rotisserie chicken in this dish makes the prep and cooking super quick and easy, which is a huge bonus!
Can I make this dairy free?
Yes! Sub the butter for vegan butter or olive oil, and use your favorite meltable dairy free cheese.
This dish is naturally gluten free, grain free, soy free, and nut free, too!

This is one of the best (and easiest!) meals I’ve made in ages. The broccoli/rotisserie chicken/cheese combo is really spectacular. I followed the recipe exactly, using bone broth and red pepper flakes. I wouldn’t change a thing! I served with a little bit of ‘Right Rice’ for some extra nutrients. This is going to be a regular dish for me going forward.
Made this tonight, so yummy! This will be added to the dinner rotation! Thanks for sharing another great dish, Mia!
