Tender chicken in a creamy sauce topped with bubbly cheese, this low-carb chicken casserole is the ultimate comfort food for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese, whisking until smooth. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, continuing to whisk until the sauce is creamy and well-blended. Stir in Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Place the cooked chicken pieces in a 9×13 baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.’, ‘Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth sauce.’, ‘Season generously to build flavor.’, ‘Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to meld flavors.’, ‘Experiment with different cheese combinations for the topping.’]
