Many popular casserole recipes use canned soup, white rice, and are topped with breadcrumbs. These are all empty starches, which you obviously want to avoid since you’re eating low-carb.
If you’re a casserole person, you’ve probably been hoping to find a chicken dinner casserole that doesn’t use any canned soup. Why? Because they typically contain starches that aren’t appropriate for a lower-carb diet.
You certainly don’t need the hidden carbs that come in creamy soups, nor do you want the chemicals in those premade cans anyhow.
And that’s why this keto chicken broccoli casserole recipe is so perfect! It’s inspired by a similar recipe that’s a gem from an old cookbook in my collection, just much healthier.
I also included a secret ingredient in the casserole that’s not the norm in most chicken and broccoli bakes: parmesan cheese. The slightly nutty, wholly rich flavor of parmesan enhances the flavors of the chicken and broccoli in a unique and mouth-watering way!
