Keto Chicken Fajita Casserole

This is one of those meals that you can enjoy even if you aren’t following a low carb or keto eating plan. 

It’s very rich and hearty, super tasty, and goes perfectly with a (keto or not) cheese quesadilla on the side. 

MyFitnessPal puts one serving (recipe as written makes 8) at: 

300 calories, 19 fat, 5 carbs, 1 fiber, 25 protein. That’s 4 net carbs. 

I make the full 8 servings because this meal is great for meal prepping. You can cut the recipe in half if you need to though. 

Keto Chicken Fajita Casserole

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces

1 pkg taco seasoning

2 large bell peppers, cut into strips

1/2 large onion, sliced

1/4 cup diced tomato

1/4 cup green chilies, finely diced (or use canned)

8 oz cream cheese, cubed

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar (or mozza) 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x13 with cooking spray and set aside. (If I am meal prepping I will use individual dishes to make things easier, but this is totally optional) 

In a large pan, cook chicken until no longer pink. Sprinkle with the taco seasoning and stir to evenly coat. Drain any excess liquid from the pan. Place chicken on plate. 

Add peppers, onions, chilies, and tomato to the pan. Cook over medium heat until vegetables soften, about 5-8 minutes.

Add in cream cheese and heavy cream and stir until smooth and evenly mixed in. Stir the chicken back in.

Scrape into 9x13 pan (or individual pans - see photo below). Top with the shredded cheese. 

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes - until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly. 

Serve hot. 

This casserole will last for several days, covered, in the fridge. It can be frozen as well but will release a little water when reheated in the microwave. I just drain it off and it’s good to go. 

From start to finish in about an hour, if you include all the prep. A healthy and filling meal that is gluten free, keto friendly, and easy peasy to whip up. 

I turn a keto friendly tortilla into a cheese quesadilla and *voila* full keto friendly meal that doesn’t leave me feeling hungry.
