Description
Keto Creamy Chicken Casserole is a comforting low-carb dish combining tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and a rich, velvety sauce.
Ingredients
- 27 ounce chicken breast, tenders, or chicken thighs (without skin)
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 5.6 ounce onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 17.6 ounce mushrooms, halved
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup for chicken and 1/4 cup for the sauce)
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened. Add the halved mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender. Stir in the heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. In the prepared baking dish, layer the cooked chicken pieces. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
6. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
