KETO CHICKEN ALFREDO CASSEROLE

Are Casseroles a staple in your household, too?
Casseroles can be so easy yet so delicious. via shredded chicken and Lina’s alfredo sauce, this plate is already mouthwatering, but when you add cheese and veggies to the mix… OH MY GOD! This is a huge comfort food meal!

Tips

• This is a simple casserole to make ahead of time and freeze for a busy weeknight.

• Not a fan of spinach? No fears! Just add your favorite vegetable to the dish – as, broccoli is a huge alternative.

• You can employ a rotisserie chicken to cut your time in half. I always make a Crock-Pot full of chicken at the beginning of the week and then employ it throughout the week to make diverse meals. It’s absolutely a big time saver on busy weeknights! Another option is to boil your chicken like Marley does when making this amazing casserole.
