Keto Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Description
The casserole begins by steaming bite-sized cauliflower until fork-tender but not mushy, retaining slightly firm texture. Chicken breast is cut into cubes, seasoned with onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper, then pan-cooked in olive oil until fully cooked and lightly browned. Low-carb Alfredo sauce is gently heated and combined with shredded mozzarella for a smooth and creamy sauce base.
The casserole is assembled by spreading sauce on a baking dish, layering half the cauliflower, then presumably alternating with chicken, sauce, and cheese, to create layers that bake together. The baking melds the creamy sauce with tender chicken and cauliflower, producing a cohesive dish with comforting mild flavors and a rich texture from the cheese.
This dish serves as a satisfying keto-friendly main course for those looking to combine protein with vegetables in a creamy, baked casserole format. It does not rely on carbs like pasta or rice and provides a filling meal option.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces cauliflower cut into bite-size pieces, florets
- 32 ounces chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce keto
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese divided, shredded
Instructions
- Steam the cauliflower. Place cut cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl with 1 cup of water. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for approximately 3-5 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork tender. Don’t overcook!
- Drain the cauliflower pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
- Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium high heat add your olive oil and the cubed chicken. Cook for approximately 10 minute, or until chicken is cooked through. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small pot heat the keto alfredo sauce over medium low heat. When it is hot add 3 ounces of mozzarella cheese to the sauce and stir until it is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Prepare a 13×9 inch casserole dish by spraying it with non-stick spray then spread ½ cup of keto alfredo sauce on the bottom.
- Next add half of the cauliflower to the dish making a layer of it on the bottom.
- Top with half of the cooked chicken. Let the chicken fill in the spaces between the cauliflower to fill the dish.
- Pour ¾ cup of keto alfredo sauce over the cauliflower and chicken.
- Sprinkle 4.5 ounces of mozzarella on top.
- Repeat steps using the remaining cauliflower and chicken to make a layer, followed by the remaining keto alfredo sauce, and topped with the last of the mozzarella cheese.
- Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is warmed through and the cheese is fully melted.
