Chicken & Eggs Breakfast Casserole

Keto Chicken & Eggs Breakfast Casserole is a filling, low-carb casserole and it is made with chicken eggs. This casserole is ideal for giving you a tasty and energizing start to the day. This casserole is plenty of protein from the eggs and shredded chicken, and it’s made even better with keto-friendly ingredients like cheese, zucchini, and sun-dried tomatoes. We use garlic, basil, and smoky paprika to give depth and aroma, while mozzarella and cheddar combine to create a rich, creamy texture. Chicken & Eggs Breakfast Casserole is also ideal for meal planning, and can be tailored to include the preferred low-carb meats or vegetables. This casserole is storage-friendly, and we have to bake it once and eat it warm from the oven or warmed throughout the week.

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

SHREDDED CHICKEN:

• You can prepare your chicken or use remaining rotisserie chicken. To guarantee that the chicken is distributed equally throughout the casserole, shred it.

ZUCCHINI:

• Zucchini gives the dish moisture and fiber. We have to make sure to wring off any extra water after spiralizing or shredding to avoid making the dish overly wet.

TOMATOES:

• Sun-dried tomatoes have very little carbohydrates and add a sour, umami taste. We can drain the oil and finely slice it if using oil-packed ones so that the oil is distributed evenly throughout the casserole.

CHEESE:

• The mozzarella and cheddar cheese make the casserole creamy, & cheesy. These two cheeses offer a wonderful combination of flavor and melt ability, but you may use whatever cheese you like.

HEAVY CREAM:

• Heavy Cream keeps the casserole moist while adhering to the keto diet by adding richness and creaminess. We would also utilize coconut cream to make the dairy-free casserole.

BASIL:

• Basil leaves enhance the aroma of this dish and it also increases the herbaceous taste of this casserole. We can also use the dried basil in place of fresh basil, but since it’s more concentrated we have to use less of it.
