How to Make Low Carb Bacon Broccoli Chicken in a Casserole Crock
Cris here.
As I am revisiting some of our Tried and True recipes to highlight them for you guys, I knew we would have to re-share our original Crock Pot Bacon Broccoli Chicken.
We used chicken tenders in that recipe, but we also love it with boneless skinless chicken thighs, so we decided to share the thigh version with you today.
This cheesy one pot casserole is a family and long time reader favorite! Here is what some readers have to say after trying our original:
Reader Hannah K. says: “This was very tasty! My husband gives it two thumbs up 👍🏼 👍🏼”
Reader Beth Anne T. says: “Super easy and delicious. My boyfriend who follows Keto diet loved it. I used Munster cheese slices instead of the Havarti and tasted fine”
Reader Lisa says: “Very yummy! Both my kids at the broccoli because it tasted so good…”
Reader Amy says: “Tried this yesterday. Absolutely delicious!! Will be making again for sure.”
Reader Dayna says: “OMG !! This was super yummy!!”
Reader Laura D. says: “This recipe has been a big hit at our house and I even passed it on to friends. We usually do mozzarella or italian-blend cheese.”
Reader Bari says: “This dish is so delicious! And it’s perfect to take to work as leftovers. I’m pretty picky about my crockpot meals and I just bought ingredients to make this for a third time! Thanks for this recipe, it’s firmly planted in the rotation.”
Notes on This Recipe
- We used our casserole crock to make this low carb one pot dish. We love how it evenly cooks and makes dividing into portions a snap!
- We used thighs in this recipe, but you can use other cuts of chicken and adjust cooking times. Here is our original recipe using chicken breast tenders.
- If you desire a smoother sauce, whip cream cheese with dip mix in a mixer. Then slather on top instead of step 2 and 3. I prefer the convenience of not getting mixer out and find that mixing at the end is good enough for me.
