Our chicken taco casserole is simple and flavorful. It’s low carb cheesy goodness in a casserole dish – so good you might just eat it out of the casserole dish. Here’s another great option for a keto-friendly taco Tuesday!

How to make a chicken taco casserole

First start by sautéing the chicken in a frying pan with a bit of olive oil and the taco seasoning. Make sure to cook it through, but don’t overcook because we still have some baking time ahead.

I drain the RoTel tomatoes and green chilies, but you don’t have to. Mix the can with the sour cream until smooth and blended.

Then stir in half the cheese. We use a taco cheese blend, but you could use any cheese – a shredded pepper jack cheese would be awesome!

Layer chicken and then spread the sour cream mixture on top. No need to make it pretty or mix it up – it will all mix together when it bakes.

Cover with the remaining cheese. Then garnish with sliced black olives, green onions – or, if you want some more spice, add some chilies! You could totally jazz up this recipe by substituting or adding different ingredients such as:

  • ground beef (check out my other taco casserole!)
  • ground turkey
  • green peppers
  • scallops / shrimp
  • salsa or queso

Bake it for about 30 minutes at 350 – or until your cheese melts / browns the way you want it. Remember, don’t overcook if you want leftovers to microwave during the week. This is an awesome meal prep recipe. I have not tried freezing it but I imagine it would do well.

Spoon it up and serve over cauliflower rice or another low carb base option like my new fave Palmini (heart of palm linguini). It’s great heated up the next day too! Heck, I could eat it cold.

    Has anyone made this without the sour cream? I do not like sour cream at all.

    I used left over 2 1/2 chicken breasts that were cooked on the barbeque the night before. I added a small can of green chili’s. I used Pepper Jack and Cheddar Cheeses. The nutritional info might have a typo.

    This recipe was the BOMB! I will be using it again and again.

    Thanks!

    Is this 15 grams of carbs for the whole thing or for a serving??? Not seeing how it would be 15 grams per serving.

    I was lazy, so I used rotisserie chicken with a bit of salsa to make the taco seasoning stick. I had cauliflower rice, and the kids had regular rice and a few tortilla chips. Everyone loved this recipe. Thanks for sharing z
