keto chicken cheese bake Ingredients

– Chicken: I use boneless chicken breasts and cut them into bite size pieces.

– Bacon: Bacon adds favoe and smokiness to this chicken cheese casserole.

– Onion: Any sweet onion will work here but the yellow onion is particularly nice in this dish.

– Cream cheese: The ingredient that makes this chicken cheese bake so creamy and delicious.

– Heavy cream:  Adding heavy cream gives the chicken cheese casserole a richness that would be missing without it.

– Cheddar cheese:  I use sharp cheddar but if you prefer mild cheddar that will work too.

– Mozarella cheese:  The mozzarella topping on this creamy chicken casserole is what makes it so lovely!

– Parmesan cheese:  Parmesan adds a depth of flavor that makes this chicken cheese bake extra flavorful.

– Mushroom: I use Baby Bella Mushrooms but any type of mushroom will work well.

– Paprika: This tasty spice adds a little bit of color and smokiness to the dish.

– Garlic powder: Garlic powder works great for this chicken recipe but feel free to use fresh mince garlic if you like.

– Salt and pepper: I use sea salt and freshly ground pepper to season my keto chicken casserole.
