Having a group of family or friends over but not sure what to make to satisfy all of their individual needs? We’ve got your back.

This delicious dinner casserole is low carb and keto friendly, so everyone attending can indulge in a crowd-pleasing homemade meal without stress.

The ketogenic diet requires a large amount of your calories to come from fatty meats and fish. But one recipe staple that is often overlooked is chicken breast. Free-range chicken offers many benefits you may be missing out on if you’re always getting your protein from another source. Some of the benefits of free-range chicken include its abundance of protein, vitamins and minerals, and the fact that it contains no hormones or antibiotics. In fact, some studies have found that eggs produced by free-range chickens actually contain a higher amount of omega-3 fatty acids as well as vitamins A and E[*].

However, chicken isn’t the only healthy ingredient that this casserole is packing. The bulk of this meal includes one of the most popular low carb rice substitutes out there today — cauliflower rice.

Cauliflower provides some key health benefits as well as being loaded with key vitamins and minerals. Cauliflower has been considered to be one of the best veggies to consume on the planet. But what makes it so great?

A one cup serving contains a total of only 25 calories, and provides you with vitamins and minerals such as potassium, manganese, pantothenic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, magnesium, phosphorus, folate, vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin B6.

Thinking you can’t have casserole and “low carb” in the same sentence let alone have it for a main course? Well, think again! Grab all of these ingredients the next time you’re at the grocery store and set yourself up for a successful meal!
