Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Chicken:
- If you haven’t already, shred or cube the cooked chicken.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until well combined.
- Add the diced jalapeños, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Combine:
- Gently fold the shredded chicken into the mixture, making sure it is well coated with the creamy cheese mixture.
- Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish.
- Bake:
- Spread the mixture evenly in the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
- Serve:
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a main dish or with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables.
Tips:
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the number of jalapeños or remove the seeds.
- Add Bacon: For extra flavor, you can mix in some crumbled cooked bacon or sprinkle it on top before baking.
