Keto Millionaire Chicken Casserole: Cuisine HELP

By Rachel Borg • April 10, 2023

This flavorful keto casserole makes an easy weeknight meal!

I tried this recipe the other day and it was a hit! I appreciated that it was easy and I had all of the ingredients on hand. It paired well with roasted asparagus and unsweetened applesauce for my kids.

Give it a try if you want a quick and easy, keto-friendly, comfort food casserole.

How I Make It

I doubled the recipe below to make a 9 x 13 pan to feed my family of 7. A single recipe, made in an 8x8 pan, will serve 4-6 people. I stuck the chicken breasts in the crock pot right after lunch and they were cooked by the time I was ready to make the casserole for supper. You could also use rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even easier!

I used cheddar cheese, but you could use whatever kind of cheese you have on hand. Remember block cheese, that you shred yourself, is always the best choice to avoid added starch.

I used my food processor to crush the pork rinds, but you could also use a ziploc bag and a rolling pin if you don't have a food processor.

Don't be afraid of salt and pepper in this recipe. The right amount really enhances the flavor.
