Learn all the easy ways you can make this keto chicken and broccoli casserole with bacon. This has irresistible bacon mixed in!

Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole With Bacon Recipe

I think I learned the secret to making my family really enjoy low-carb casseroles – add bacon. They smell the bacon frying and then they can’t wait for dinner to be finished! There is so much more that I love about this recipe beyond just the bacon. Keep reading and discover how to make this for your family too.

Easy Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Before keto, I used to love cheese chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole. Now that I’m eating a low-carb diet, I had to figure out how to make healthy swaps so I could still enjoy my favorite meals.

Thankfully, there are lots of ways you can customize this recipe. It’s super easy to make and a really flexible recipe with lots of room to play with.

Here’s what I used in my casserole:

  • Chicken thighs – use boneless and skinless thighs since you will be cutting them into smaller pieces. You can also use chicken breast instead.
  • Broccoli florets – Chop them up into smaller bites
  • Butter – unsalted
  • Garlic – minced
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Bacon

Low Carb Dinner For Your Family

There are only 6 grams of net carbs in each serving! If you want to give your kids a healthy grain for their side, make some rice or mashed sweet potatoes. Both options taste amazing with this recipe.

This is a low-carb dinner that the whole family will love. The chicken comes out perfectly juicy and tender and the broccoli soaks up all the creamy, cheesy, sauce. It’s heavenly.

You can even make it ahead of time and use it for meal prep! Just store it covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep in mind that when you refrigerate this casserole, the cheese sauce will harden in the fridge. All you have to do is reheat it in the oven and it will melt beautifully.

Hearty Keto Dinner

The whipping cream and cheddar cheese combine with the chicken and broccoli and fill you up! You will be surprised how full you feel afterward. There are ways you can customize this recipe – try one of these ideas:

  • Add cauliflower or cabbage to the casserole
  • Change the cheese – use your favorite cheese mixture
  • Sprinkle red pepper flakes for some heat

What To Serve With Keto Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This is perfect all by itself – it’s a complete meal. If you feel like you want something else on the side, you can serve it with your favorite cauliflower rice. This would also taste wonderful with my keto garlic knots.
