Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease or butter the inside of a medium size casserole dish.

- Drain and add the broccoli to the casserole dish.

- Return the skillet to medium heat and add another tablespoon of butter.
- Once melted, add the garlic and shallots and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, chicken bone broth, and cream cheese. Cook, breaking up the cream cheese, until melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the broccoli and chicken in the casserole dish.
- Top evenly with the cheddar cheese.
- Mix the almond flour and 1 tablespoon of melted butter in a small bowl until it resembles crumbs.
- Evenly spread the almond flour crumbs over the top of the casserole.
