Keto Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole

A creamy and spicy low-carb casserole featuring shredded chicken, cream cheese, jalapenos, cheddar cheese, and bacon, offering a ketogenic twist on the classic jalapeno popper flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shredded chicken, cooked
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6 jalapeno peppers, sliced
  • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, sliced jalapenos, heavy cream, cooked bacon, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Layer the shredded cheddar cheese on top and add reserved jalapeno slices on top for garnish.
  5. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  6. If the top has not browned enough, turn on the broiler until the casserole is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the casserole briefly after baking. Adjust jalapeno slices to control spice level. Letting the casserole rest before serving helps flavors meld.
