How to Make Keto Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Preheat oven to 400F.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes until they have some good color.
Remove and add a little more butter to the pan, then sauté the garlic for about 20 seconds, careful not to burn it!
Add in the rest of the butter, chicken stock, heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, salt and pepper and stir until melted. Add in the parmesan cheese and parsley, continue stirring until everything has melted.
In a large mixing bowl, add in the chicken, mushrooms and spinach.
Stir in the 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Pour the sauce over the top and mix to combine.
Pour the mixture into a 9" X 9" casserole or glass baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
Spread the mixture evenly and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Increase the temperature to 425F and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. This is such a rich and delicious meal that its perfect served as a complete meal. If you want to serve with a Keto side dish, I recommend a side salad to lighten things up a little.
Store leftovers in the fridge for a few day or two.
Is Alfredo Keto?
It certainly is. Well, homemade alfredo sauce is. It is mostly cream and cheese. That is what I consider the PERFECT Keto sauce.
Can I Freeze Chicken Alfredo Casserole?
Absolutely! This casserole freezes very well. It should be noted than sometimes the dairy in casseroles will try to separate some. If that happens to you with this keto chicken casserole, give it a gentle stir to reincorporate the sauce and it will just fine.
In order to keep the casserole as fresh as possible while in the freezer, you will want to freeze it in an airtight container. If there is a lot of space between the top of the casserole and the lid, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the casserole.
It will keep for up to several months.
Other Ways to Serve Keto Alfredo Sauce

Suggestion on how to reheat after freezing?

You'll just let it thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave until warm.

Curious as to know how I could incorporate zucchini noodles into this wonderful dish?
Keto Cooking Christian
I suppose you could just serve the casserole over a bed of zoodles. I am not sure I would add them into the casserole though.

This was so good. I don't like mushrooms so I added broccoli for added veggies. I also topped it with a "breadcrumb" topping. I had a failed Keto Naan Bread that I crumbled and used 2 cups with 4 T of melted butter. It reminded me of a Ritz cracker topping. So good.
Keto Cooking Christian
Sounds great, glad you enjoyed it!
Bettina Wilson
My family loved this. Can this be freezed?
Keto Cooking Christian
Yes, it absolutely can! Glad your family loved it 🙂
Sue Roberds
This is a delicious recipe, but mine turned out very runny. Any suggestions?
Keto Cooking Christian
Sorry to hear that, not sure why that might happen honestly.
Sharla Clark
What did you use for the chicken breast? Canned chicken? Rotisserie? Cook/boil your own??
Keto Cooking Christian
I used rotisserie, but you can use bake or poach your own if you'd like.
