Creamy Low Carb Chicken Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

Creamy Low Carb Chicken Casserole offers a comforting, protein-packed meal with wholesome ingredients. The chicken breasts provide lean protein to support muscle health, while broccoli adds fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. Using heavy cream, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese delivers richness and healthy fats that align with low-carb or keto diets. For a lighter option, you can substitute part of the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or use reduced-fat cheese. The garlic and onion powders add flavor without adding carbs, and seasoning to taste with salt and pepper allows you to control sodium levels. This dish is a satisfying way to enjoy comfort food while sticking to low-carb goals. Pair it with a side of leafy greens for added nutrients and balance.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
