Keto Chicken Artichoke Casserole Recipe
Description
This casserole brings together chicken breast pieces mixed with a creamy blend of room-temperature cream cheese and mayonnaise, seasoned with garlic and onion powders and black pepper. Red bell peppers and canned artichoke hearts add mild sweetness and subtle acidity. Tossed with shredded Parmesan cheese, the mixture is baked and topped with mozzarella or a cheese blend that melts to a golden crust. Baking at 350°F ensures the chicken cooks through while the cheeses meld into a creamy, cohesive dish. The combination of creamy base and tender chicken pieces creates a rich texture suited to keto eaters looking for a satisfying baked entrée. The artichokes introduce a slightly tangy element balancing the richness.
This dish pairs well with low-carb vegetables or a green salad. Using a mix of cheeses can adjust flavor complexity and melt quality. Diced chicken thighs or a mix of white and dark meat can substitute chicken breasts, though longer baking times may be needed for dark meat to ensure doneness, typically 165°F internal temperature.
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cream cheese 8 ounce package, room temperature
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 artichoke hearts 15 ounce can, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, or cheese blend
Instructions
- Lightly spray a 13" x 9" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pre heat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, black pepper garlic powder and onion powder with a hand mixer.
- Add the chopped bell pepper, artichoke hearts, chicken, and parmesan cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Mix coating all the pieces of chicken.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Top the casserole with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Mayonnaise can be replaced with plain yogurt to reduce calories if desired.
- Use a preferred blend of cheeses such as Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar for varied flavor.
- Diced chicken thighs can be substituted, but increase baking time by 10–15 minutes to reach 165°F internal temperature.
