This Keto Jalapeno Popper Casserole is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy low-carb dish perfect for a satisfying dinner. Tender chicken breasts are layered with a rich blend of cream cheese, heavy cream, and garlic powder, then topped with diced jalapenos and sharp cheddar cheese. Baked until bubbly and golden, and finished with savory chopped beef crumbles, this casserole delivers bold flavors with keto-friendly ingredients.

Ingredients

Proteins

  • 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 6 slices chopped beef

Dairy

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Vegetables & Seasonings

  • 5 to 6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
  • ½ tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9×13 casserole dish by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Chicken: Place the cubed chicken breasts evenly in a single layer in the bottom of the casserole dish, ensuring a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  3. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a bowl, blend together the garlic powder, softened cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken layer, then sprinkle the diced jalapeños on top, followed by an even layer of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  4. Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown slightly.
  5. Add Beef and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and top with the chopped beef crumbles. Serve hot and enjoy the deliciously spicy, creamy, cheesy flavors.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • Using full-fat dairy products helps maintain the creamy texture and richness.
  • For an extra crispy topping, broil the cheese for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
