Low Carb Mexican Chicken Casserole

This post for my Low Carb Mexican Chicken Casserole was sponsored by Fresh From Florida as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central, however, all opinions expressed are my own.

This easy and delicious Low Carb Mexican Chicken Casserole is ready in 30 minutes and will please even the pickiest of eaters! Tons of flavor while still being low in carbs makes this an easy Keto Casserole the whole family will love.

This Low Carb Mexican Casserole is a recipe I adapted to be low carb inspired by one of my Mother in Law's best dishes! She makes a traditional Mexican Chicken Casserole often, and the whole family fights over every bite.

This is one of my favorite low carb casseroles because it is simple to make, has a ton of flavor, and takes less than 30 minutes to get on the table. All you need is a deep skillet and a baking dish so clean up is easy.

Wanting to lighten up the carbs I replaced a few basic ingredients and came up with this absolutely delicious casserole with a fraction of the carbs and still just as much flavor.

One of the keys to great flavor is using the freshest ingredients. I must admit, living in Florida I am a little spoiled with how fresh our produce is! I just look for the Fresh From Florida label when I shop to know I am getting the freshest and best quality possible.

Right now bell peppers are in season in Florida - aren't they gorgeous?! Fresh From Florida squash and sweet corn are also in season in Florida! I love living here!

When you buy fruits, vegetables, and seafood with the Fresh From Florida logo, you are not only getting the freshest local food, but you are directly helping a local Florida farmer.

You can find Fresh From Florida produce and seafood at local grocery stores, farmers markets, and even come convenience stores. And check out the Fresh From Florida site where you will find tons of recipes - including bell pepper recipes just like this one!

I used these big beautiful Fresh From Florida Green Bell Peppers for this Easy Mexican Casserole! Instead of using rice I used cauliflower rice - and the flavors of the two came together just perfectly!

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

This low-carb Mexican chicken casserole is incredibly versatile and the base of the recipe can be used for a variety of Mexican dishes. You can use the chicken mixture wrapped in a low carb tortilla to make chicken enchiladas or make tacos with cheese taco shells.

You can add even more flavor by topping this dish with fresh cilantro or green onions or making it more of a creamy dish by mixing in cream cheese. Top with plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for the same great flavor but with less calories and more protein. Just make sure you calculate the macros as Greek yogurt does have some extra carbs.

I used a rotisserie chicken to make this a super fast meal, but you can easily use grilled or pressure cooker chicken breast.

This is a great new recipe to keep you on track with your low carb diet. You can pair it with a simple salad for an easy weeknight meal.
