Keto Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole Recipe
Look at this Keto Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole Recipe! It’s delish!!
Here’s a super easy, yet tasty, recipe for you! Try this Keto Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole Recipe! You can make this as spicy or as mild as you want depending on the type of jalapenos you use. If you use fresh jalapenos with the seeds, it will be pretty spicy. Or you can remove the seeds from the jalapenos and it will be a medium spice level. Or, you can use the pickled jalapenos in a jar, and those will be a mild spice. My family doesn’t like meals really spicy so I always use the pickled jalapenos.
You can also add a layer of riced cauliflower and the very bottom of this recipe and make it a complete meal if you want too! The cook time is exactly the same. There tends to be a little water that comes from the chicken and when you add riced cauliflower to the bottom of this recipe, it soaks it up along with all the other flavors perfectly! I usually buy a big bag of riced cauliflower from Costco.

This was such an easy recipe and by far was the best Jalapeño Chicken Recipe yet. Best part, no need to stuff or wrap the chicken. The flavors pop.
This recipe was easy and DELICIOUS. I did 6 breasts cut into tender strips. We cleaned the dish and they wanted more. Will be making again this weekend with enough for lunch leftovers. Thank you for this one!
Hi, I made this recipe tonight for my husband who is on keto. I used chicken thighs since I didn’t have breasts and they worked out fine. He said it is very good! I will definitely make it again. Thanks!
