Is This Slow Cooker Chicken Casserole with Bacon Recipe Keto?

Yes! This recipe is 100% keto. With only 2 total carbs and 1 gram of fiber, this recipe has 1 net carb making it the perfect meal on a keto/low carb diet.

Ingredients:

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts – I prefer skinless chicken breasts; you could use boneless chicken thighs instead.
• Butter – Butter always adds incredible flavor and needed fat for this recipe.
• Poultry seasoning, Rosemary, Thyme, and Garlic – Spices make everything better and add great flavor. If you do not have fresh garlic, you can also use a tsp of garlic powder.
• Chicken broth – Chicken broth adds more flavor than water when slow-cooking chicken.
• Cooked bacon – Crispy bacon makes everything better.
• Heavy whipping cream & Cream Cheese – Adds flavor and fat and helps thicken the sauce.
• Cheese – Cheese is an incredible addition to this dish for an ooey-gooey cheesy chicken dish.

Step 1:Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add the chicken, butter, seasonings, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.

Step 2: Next, crumble cooked bacon over the chicken mixture. To cook the bacon, place it in a large skillet on medium-high heat until crispy or on a sheet pan in the oven at 375 until cooked.

Step 3: Cook the chicken casserole mixture on high for 3 1/2 hours or low for 6.

Step 4: Add heavy whipping cream and a dollop of cream cheese. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken in the slow cooker.

Step 5:Add 1 3/4 cups of cheddar cheese (or more if you’d like), then crumble 3 more pieces of cooked bacon on top.Place the top back on the slow cooker and allow the cheese to melt. Garnish with parsley or chives and serve. Enjoy!
