Low Carb Chicken Casserole With Spinach

This Low Carb Chicken Casserole is so easy to make you will not even miss the carbs! Creamy and cheesy and packed with nutrients, this one the whole family will love!

I chose spinach to put in this low carb casserole, but you can really use any veggie you like. The creamy sauce goes well with just about anything!

This Easy Low Carb Chicken Casserole can be made with a precooked rotisserie chicken, canned chicken, or even grilled chicken.

Even though this casserole has spinach in it already, I love pairing it with my Roasted Low Carb Veggies. I just run everything into the oven at the same time and voila!

Low Carb Chicken Casserole with Spinach

Ingredients:

• 10 oz. Fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoon Butter unsalted
• 1 ½ c. Heavy whipping cream
• ¾ c. Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Basil
• 1 lb. Shredded chicken
• ½ c. Mozzarella cheese + a bit more for topping
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

How To Make Chicken Casserole

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the spinach to the heated skillet a little at a time, and cook until wilted. I use my cast iron skillet for this and it comes out perfect every time!

Drain the spinach, and spread it on the bottom of a greased baking dish.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoon of butter.

Pour in the heavy whipping cream.

Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and basil.

Stir in the mozzarella cheese.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mix in the shredded chicken.

Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the spinach in the baking dish.

Top with a thin layer of Mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is browned and bubbly.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
