How To Make This Keto Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole At Home

Making this keto chicken casserole is a breeze to whip up. If you have an oven safe skillet, it can even be a (keto) one pot meal recipe!

This recipe is definitely one I’d categorize as halfway homemade! As much as I love cooking from scratch, it’s not always realistic.

Using pre-cooked, store bought, or even rotisserie chicken makes this recipe come together in no time.

Of course, if you don’t have any cooked chicken handy, you could easily boil chicken breasts on the stove or use your Instant Pot to cook some quickly.

A store bought spinach artichoke dip and frozen broccoli (steamed) also cut down on the prep time for this low carb chicken casserole recipe.

I like to use the La Terra Fina brand of spinach artichoke dip that I find at Costco but I hear Trader Joe’s has a great one also. Of course, you can use whichever brand you can find or prefer!

Preparation takes just 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how fast you work in the kitchen. Simply heat up your dip in a skillet (non-stick works best), whisk in some cream, and then toss with the broccoli and chicken. Bake in a casserole dish for 20 minutes, top with cheese, and broil till bubbly.

It really doesn’t get any easier!

How To Serve Your Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole

Because this dish has ample protein, fat, dairy, and even veggies, there is really no need to make a huge spread.

This keto chicken casserole is really a fully meal in one dish. However, our mind can play tricks on us and make us think we’re not getting enough to eat if we don’t have something to accompany our main meal.

Here are a few side options to round out your meal without blowing your calories:

Simple dressed greens- try spinach and arugula drizzled in a little olive oil, red or balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Light Caesar salad
Steamed asparagus
Roasted carrots
