Steps by step instructions

How to make the low carb swiss chicken casserole recipe?

Step 1: Whisk together the cream of chicken sauce

Pouring the cream sauce over the chicken in the casserole dish.

Step 2: Pour the sauce of shredded chicken

STEP 1:
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, make the cream of chicken sauce by adding the cream cheese, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional celery seed. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

STEP 2: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with butter, then place the shredded or chopped cooked chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken) evenly in the bottom. Pour the homemade cream of chicken sauce over the chicken.

Layering the casserole dish with slices of swiss cheese.

Step 3: Top with a layer of swiss cheese slices

Spreading the pork rind crumbs over the casserole dish.

Step 4: Top with parmesan pork rind crumbs and bake.

STEP 3: Add a layer of Swiss cheese slices on top of the chicken and sauce.

STEP 4: In a medium bowl, combine the grated parmesan and pork rind crumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture over the Swiss cheese slices, then bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, or until the top is crispy, golden brown, and bubbly.

Top Tip

Using a rotisserie chicken not only saves time but adds extra flavor to the dish. Be sure to spread the pork rind crumb topping evenly to get that perfect golden, crispy finish!

Recipe Tips

Even Layering: Make sure the chicken is spread evenly across the bottom of the dish to ensure every bite has chicken, sauce, and topping.
Pork Rind Crumbs: Crush the pork rinds finely for a more even and crispy topping. You can also use pre-crushed pork rind crumbs for convenience.
Swiss Cheese: If Swiss cheese is too strong, you can use a milder cheese like mozzarella or provolone.

Variations

Cheese Swap: Try using a combination of Swiss and cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor.
Add Vegetables: Mix in cooked low carb vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or spinach with the chicken for extra nutrients.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat.
Herbs: Add fresh or dried herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary to the sauce for added depth of flavor.

Storage

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or use the microwave for a quicker option.
