    A cheesy casserole combined with tender chicken, bacon, leeks and spinach in a deliciously cheesy sauce.

    While it’s best enjoyed freshly cooked, you can easily prepare and mix all of the ingredients ahead of time in a pan. When you're ready pop it in the oven to bake to save time.

    We used mozzarella cheese but feel free to use cheddar, edam or gouda cheese instead. They melt just as well and turn golden brown and bubbly in the oven!

    Cheesy Chicken Casserole Ingredients

    This low carb casserole only requires 10 key ingredients to make and they're easily substitutable to what you have on hand.

    Ingredients arranged on a table to make a low carb casserole
    • Chicken - we used skinless boneless chicken breast for this recipe, but you can easily use chicken thighs or other meat.
    • Bacon - who doesn't love extra bacon in casseroles? You can also add diced ham if you don't have any bacon.
    • Vegetables - we use baby spinach, red onion and leek in this casserole. You can also use other low carb vegetables such as mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli and celery.
    • Heavy cream
    • Eggs
    • Cheese - we used mozzarella in this recipe but you can substitute it for cheddar, edam or gouda which all work great in this casserole.
    • Olive oil
    • Seasonings - for this recipe you'll only need mild paprika, salt and black pepper.

    Step 6

    Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven until golden brown. Slice into portions and serve hot!
