great and easy to prepare
Soooo good! Full disclosure… I didn’t have Almond Milk so I just added more heavy cream! Delicious!
Great recipe with simple ingredients! I made some extra sauce and added in a head of cauliflower. My husband loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it Annette. Thanks for stopping by!
Great recipe! I left out almond milk and basil, added cup of cauliflower rice and added a cup more cheese. Yummy!
Muito bom adorei a receita!
Obrigado Maria!
AHHHMAZING ENTIRE FAMILY LOVED IT
That was amazing. Absolutely delicious!!!!
Excellent tasting & very filling. The only thing I didn’t did was the basil. Maybe next time.
YUMMY!!! It was very delicious and the whole family loved it!! So, it gets 5 stars!!!!!!
Love this recipe I too add just all heavy cream it’s delicious!
This was really tasty, but was the sauce suppose to thicken, pretty watery
Hi Debbie,
The sauce shouldn’t be watery, you might need to drain your broccoli a bit more next time.
This is perfect to take to someone who needs a meal cooked for them. Huge hit!
This reminds me of my Chicken Divan, but creamier & without the rice. However, I made regular rice for the kids and riced cauliflower for myself with some Tabasco… Y.U.M!!!
Great recipe. I used all heavy cream, topped with crushed pork rinds for a crispy topping. Really good comfort food!
This was amazing, everyone in my family loved it! I did make a few alterations out of necessity cause it’s what I had on hand:
1. Used 1 C Heavy Whipping Cream (no almond milk)
2. Used only 4 oz of cream cheese, that’s all I had
3. used 6 chicken breasts (probably over 3lbs) that I cooked and cubed before putting it in the oven.
4. Used frozen broccoli, sauteed in oil and seasoned ahead of putting in the casserole.
5. Added onion powder and extra salt/pepper to taste
6. Omitted basil
7. Added red pepper flakes, cause we like it spicy!
8. Used a combination of cheeses and mixed it into the casserole instead of just putting it on top.
My husband and teenage son raved about this dish, thank you so much! I’ll be back to try some of your other keto recipes for sure!
I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it Holly! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I forgot to rate it 5 stars, see above or below?
Can you please tell me what application you used to calculate the nutritional information? I’m getting much higher numbers – particularly net carbs of 15 – using mine!
Hi Lorrie,
We use a feature that is built-in as part of the recipe card. I would recommend checking each ingredient as some apps rely on users entering data, which is not always accurate.
My family loved this recipe. I didn’t have fresh basil so I used dried. We will definitely make this again.
A big hit! I personally would have used half of the Dijon mustard, but I’m not a huge fan of it anyway. Definitely a keeper! Thanks!!
This is absolutely Delish.I made exactly as recipe stated to do.
I will definitely be making again.
Absolutely tasty! Very flavorful and extremely filling! I added mushrooms just because I needed to use them but other than that, this was perfect!
I made this tonight and it was fantastic. I have a similar recipe however it called for canned cream of chicken and mayonnaise. I loved making the cream sauce for this knowing everything that was going in it. My recipe also called for bread crumbs which obviously I am not eating. This was so rich and filling and bread crumbs were not missed at all! Very good and will definitely make again!
Just made this recipe. Made it like it was listed except for the basil (I didn’t have any). It was so quick and easy to make. And it was delicious! Loved the sauce! Will definitely make again!
This is delicious!! My husband and I love it…thanks for sharing!! A must try for those who haven’t.
Easy to make. A winner, every time!
The last time I made this I added 1T curry powder and topped with cilantro,to the recipe, minus basil. Delicious!!!
Sounds delicious Jackie!!
LOVELOVELOVE this casserole! Made it exactly as written. It also freezes well, I made it and froze leftovers, had that last night. THANK YOU, GERRI!
I have made this 5-6 times It’s that good. My mom used to make a broccoli chicken casserole with cream of chicken soup and mayonnaise for the filling and breadcrumbs added with the cheese on top and this comes pretty darn close to it while being keto friendly! Fantastic recipe. Thank you!!
Thank you for your kind words, Mel!
this is the BEST recipe! I always add more garlic, bc I love the garlic. But I have made this multiple times. Sometimes if I have cauliflower and or onions I will add ! Thank you for sharing this!
This was great. Saved it to my carb manager so I don’t lose it. Thanks!
Very honestly, I rarely make a dish according to a strict recipe…so with this casserole I, of course, did some embellishments by adding sauted onions & mushrooms and diced roasted green chili…AWESOME!!! Added a little more character and cut the richness from the sauce. I know this added a few more carbs, but my husband loved it!!!
Thanx for a great template to start from!!!
Cheers!!!
Those additions sound delicious Penny! I look forward to hearing about other changes that you make from the template 🙂
Love finding a delicious recipe you can’t wait to make again! I added a generous helping of curry powder as another reviewer suggested and the final product was a tastier, healthier Chicken Divan! We made ours with diced chicken breast instead of rotisserie chicken & served over a mix of quinoa and rice the first night. We finished the leftovers by themselves (no sides) the very next day. So yummy!
The addition of curry powder is sounding really good! I will have to try it soon.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This was SO good! Loved it made exactly as recipe is listed.
