How to Make Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Cabbage Casserole (Low Carb)
Cris here.
As you guys know, my family has been eating low carb for quite sometime now, so I am always on the lookout for another great recipe and if it is a one pot meal, that is even better! This Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Cabbage Casserole recipe was inspired by the Turkey Tetrazzini recipe found in a great low carb cookbook called Keto Comfort Foods. I altered it to use our Crock Pot Butter Chicken as the cooked poultry in the dish and converted the recipe to cook in my slow cooker.
The family loved this recipe. It will definitely be a dish we will make again.
Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Cabbage Casserole (Low Carb) Notes:
- This recipe was inspired by the Turkey Tetrazzini recipe in a great low carb cookbook called Keto Comfort Foods.
- We used our Crock Pot Butter Chicken as the cooked chicken for this recipe.
- You can shred your own cabbage or buy the angel shredded cabbage in the salad aisle at the grocery store. Regardless, you will want your cabbage to be thinly shredded.
- We like to use our 6 quart Ninja Slow Cooker to prepare this meal to make it a true one pot meal. We can saute the veggies in the pot on the browning setting and then turn it to slow cook the meal. If you don’t have a browning slow cooker, you can saute your veggies on the stove and then slow cook in any 6 quart slow cooker.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

My boyfriend works at John Soule, and I’m constantly trying to figure out how to use up the 20 lbs of cooked chicken he brings home on Fridays. This was an absolute win! I had everything it called for and it was delicious! I did use a whole minced onion in place of the dry onion, and seasoned with a little Montreal steak seasoning, but it’s definitely going in the rotation!
That’s wonderful! I’m so glad you were able to make this recipe your own and truly enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know. It really makes our day!
Do I have to pre-cook the chicken? Or can I just throw it in raw, since it will be cooking for 4-5 hours anyway?
Hi Rosalee!
We have only tried this recipe with cooked, shredded chicken. If you try it with raw thicken, make sure you check it with a meat thermometer prior to eating. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
Aunt Lou
Looked like a potato but then seen it must be a mushroom. I wanted to add potato but my wife wouldnt let me lol TASTING IT RIGHT NOW. YEP TASTY AS IT LOOKED.just used left overs of cabbage from making cabbage rolls .Great recipe its a keeper STILL WILL TRY WITH TATERS LOL
Im going to try this recipe. However, how do you know it’s keto if you dont know or wont publish the carb content?
Hi Gwenn-
As I mentioned below, I have been very reluctant to add nutritional information because I feel like it can be very misleading, particularly for folks counting carbs. The best online nutritional info will always be an estimate and can still be VERY different from what you make at home because products can vary so greatly. I always recommend that my readers calculate info themselves based on the products they actually use.
Anything labeled low carb on our site is marked that way because it is something we enjoy (using the lowest carb ingredients we can find) as a part of our low carb lifestyle.
However, we are slowly going through our recipes and adding an automated nutritional information because so many folks are asking for it. We will bump this one up on the list and try to get it updated this week.
Tasty!!! Nutrition stats. Plz
Hi Sherry-
We don’t provide nutritional information because we feel it is incredibly misleading for recipes on the internet. Nutritional information will be different for every home cook because it always will depend on the exact ingredients and products you use. We wrote a post about it a while back and compared products to show how vastly different simply based on different brands of the same ingredients (https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/frequently-asked-questions-nutritional-information/ ).
Since writing that post we began eating Low Carb in our home and readers asked we share the low carb recipes we enjoy at home. When something is marked low carb on the site it is because we make it using low carb ingredients and enjoy it as a part of our low carb lifestyle. At first I tried to share net carbs, but as I began to learn how much products varied in carb counts specifically, I began to be worried that information could be incredibly misleading so I stopped.
I know that is probably not the answer you were hoping for, but after a lot of consideration we have decided to not include it at this time.
I thought it looked like a close up of a large mushroom piece.
This looks soooo good! 🙂 I love getting your recipes! 🙂
Am going to make this tonight. Just one question – why does the picture show what looks like a scalloped potato and there are none in the recipe? Just curious.
P.S. I love your recipes and have made a lot of them. Thanks for posting them.
Hi Kathi-
I assure you that is cabbage– NOT potatoes. I haven’t had a potato since going low carb ;). Aunt Lou is your potato recipe gal. Enjoy!
Thanks for the clarification.
I thought it looked like a close up of a large mushroom piece.
Hi, Kathi! I thought the same thing, but if you look closely … it’s a slice of a whole, browned, mushroom!! I’m gonna try this one!!
Linda
Hi!!!! I did make this last night. OMG – was it ever good. But since it was a bit bland for my taste, I upped the garlic by 1 tablespoon; upped the poultry seasoning by 1 teaspoon and added 2 tablespoons of Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning. I also used Better than Bouillon Chicken base because it has no MSG. Oh – and I used Cremimi mushrooms – medium sliced and a finely diced red onion- Yum!!!
Thanks again for posting it Chris and for all of the comments.
