Keto Chicken Cheese Bake

If you’re looking for a delicious and satisfying keto-friendly dish, look no further than this Keto Chicken Cheese Bake. This recipe is packed with flavor and is easy to make, making it perfect for those busy weeknights when you don’t have much time to cook.

The recipe starts with cooking a pound of bacon until crisp and reserving three tablespoons of bacon fat. In a separate saucepan, you will combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, avocado mayonnaise, heavy cream, hot sauce, mustard, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cook the mixture until it’s creamy, and then add crumbled bacon to it.

In another skillet, sauté onions in bacon fat for three minutes, then add mushrooms and sauté for five more minutes. Add garlic and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted. Finally, mix in the cooked chicken and the cream mixture, and pour it all into an 8×12 inch casserole dish.

Top the mixture with two cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and bake it in the oven at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Afterward, place it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese.

Once it’s out of the oven, let it sit for ten minutes to set up and serve ten portions. Keep in mind that there might be some liquid on the bottom, which will eventually absorb into the mixture. You can spoon a little over each portion to add more flavor.
