Enjoy!

Let’s talk about our cabbage!

You can either use a bag of coleslaw mix or you can make your own mix if you’d like. When I make my own, to come up with about the same amount as a bag of coleslaw mix, I combine 5 cups of chopped green cabbage with 1 cup of chopped red cabbage, then add about three tablespoons of grated carrots. You can omit the carrots if you’d like. One of the great things about this recipe is that you don’t have to cook the cabbage before adding it to the casserole. This creates tender cabbage which still has some awesome crunchiness to it. To our cabbage, we’re adding diced onions, cooked and chopped chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese. You can use roughly chopped chicken, diced chicken, or shredded chicken for this dish. For your cheese, I recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself.

How do I make the sauce and topping for this keto cheesy chicken cabbage casserole?

The sauce for this casserole is ridiculously easy to make and it’s ridiculously creamy and delicious! I like to add all the sauce ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir or whisk to combine the ingredients. To make our sauce, we combine sour cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. I always recommend using full fat sour cream as I find it to be superior in taste and in creaminess. For the paprika, you can use regular paprika in place of the smoked paprika if you’d prefer. To make the topping for this casserole, we’re combining melted butter with crushed pork rinds and Italian seasoning. Crushed pork rinds are an amazing low carb option for toppings and as a breading for all kinds of meats. Pork rinds contain zero carbs. They create an awesome crunchy topping for this casserole which browns up perfectly.

What are some ways I can serve this keto cheesy chicken cabbage casserole?

You have some great low carb options for serving this casserole. I love starting meals with a green salad. Caesar salads and wedge salads are a couple of our favorites! Another of my favorite ways to serve salad is to cut up some iceberg or romaine lettuce and place it in a large serving bowl. Then I serve it with some of our favorite toppings including bacon, hard boiled eggs, shredded cheese, sliced avocados, and tomatoes. You can also serve this casserole with some keto biscuits, chaffles, cornbread, or English muffins. Another wonderful option is to serve this casserole with a cooked low carb vegetable. Some great options include asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and green beans. We also enjoy boiled radishes and roasted radishes. This dish reheats well either in the microwave or on the stovetop in a skillet, so it’s a great option to serve as leftovers.
