How To Make the Low Carb Crack Chicken Casserole

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Cheesy Base

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat until smooth and well mixed.

Step 3: Fold in the Good Stuff

Add the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, green onions, and half of the bacon. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

Step 4: Bake to Bubbly Perfection

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining bacon and a sprinkle of extra cheese if you like. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Step 5: Let It Rest and Serve

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
