Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups pre-cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup keto-friendly BBQ sauce (sugar-free)
  • 1/2 cup keto ranch dressing
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, keto ranch dressing, and keto BBQ sauce until smooth.
  3. Fold in the shredded chicken, dried spinach, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure you squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the thawed spinach to prevent a watery casserole.
You can use rotisserie chicken for a faster prep time.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
