Ingredients of Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole
- Cauliflower
The ketogenic diet involves consuming keto-friendly foods like cauliflower. While it's not exactly the best source of fat or protein, it's a low calorie, low carb vegetable that's loaded with nutrients.
Adding cauliflower to your keto plan is just as important as meeting your protein and fat macros. When it comes to vitamins, minerals, and other essential micronutrients, cauliflower has it all.
You can use cauliflower in keto-friendly recipes such as mashed potatoes, rice or casserole dishes.
- Broccoli
Besides being a healthy vegetable, broccoli is also very nutritious, which makes it ideal for the keto diet. As well as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and even protein, broccoli contains many other nutrients. There are 3 grams of net carbohydrates in 1 cup of broccoli.
You could enjoy a delicious and nutritious broccoli casserole without worrying about your carb intake. For this recipe, we’re going to use fresh broccoli for great flavor.
- Chicken
This recipe is great because you can use leftover chicken, as well as fresh chicken. Prepare the shredded chicken in the microwave or on the stovetop.
For those who don't have leftover chicken, you can stop at the supermarket and grab a rotisserie chicken, or buy precooked, frozen chunks of grilled chicken.
