Print Recipe

A creamy and cheesy keto-friendly casserole with tender chicken, garlic mushrooms, and a rich sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter (divided)
  • 12 oz sliced mushrooms (cremini or white button)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping, optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sear 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer chicken to the baking dish.
  3. In the same skillet, melt remaining 1 tbsp butter. Add mushrooms and cook 5–7 minutes until browned and most of the moisture is gone.
  4. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Lower heat to medium. Add cream cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in Parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella until melted.
  7. Pour the creamy garlic mushroom sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
  8. Bake 18–22 minutes, until bubbly and the chicken is cooked through. Broil 1–2 minutes for a more golden top if desired.
  9. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
