Keto Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Keto Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This casserole is great for using up leftover chicken and cooked broccoli. Use any combination of cooked chicken — dark and white, all dark, or all white. I used chicken thighs. It’s a keto recipe, to boot!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 ½ cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups chopped, cooked broccoli
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup crushed pork rinds

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour olive oil into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread over the bottom and sides. Arrange cooked chicken in a single layer in the dish. Distribute cooked broccoli evenly over the chicken and sprinkle with almonds.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until melted and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese and stir until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken, broccoli, and almonds; top with crushed pork rinds.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
