Notes
To ensure this dish stays keto-friendly, use full-fat cream cheese and avoid low-fat versions.
The chicken can be cooked in advance or you can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
For a crispy topping, try broiling the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
