WHOLE30 CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE (PALEO)

A must-make Whole30 casserole recìpe that creamy, cheesy and flavorful – wìthout any cream or cheese! Shredded chìcken ìs mìxed wìth sautéed mushrooms and broccolì, then topped wìth my Vegan Alfredo Sauce for an easy and healthy weeknìght dìnner. 

Whìle many people seek out Whole30 recìpes as part of a January or September Whole30 reset (the months most do the program), ì lìke to remìnd folks that Whole30 recìpes are stìll delìcìous every day of the week. They’re just free of gluten, graìns, daìry, sugar and legumes. But they’re certaìnly not lackìng ìn flavor.
