KETO CHICKEN FLORENTINE CASSEROLE

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    If not already done, cook the chicken and shred or cube it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables:
    Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Cook the Spinach:
    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from heat.
  5. Make the Cream Sauce:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  6. Combine Ingredients:
    Add the shredded chicken, sautéed spinach and onion mixture, and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) to the cream sauce. Stir everything together until well combined.
  7. Assemble the Casserole:
    Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and crispy bacon bits (if using).
  8. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
  9. Serve:
    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
