Why we love this low carb recipe so much
It's simple: it goes in the oven. And that makes it possible to do many other things on the side before getting to the food. Actually perfect for the evening. Or? :)
And what else is wonderful about the chicken low carb casserole: You can store the leftovers in the fridge and simply warm them up again briefly. Still tastes just as good. However, you have to make sure that you really store the meat in the refrigerator. Otherwise it can quickly go bad.
Add a little fresh cheese on top and it tastes like freshly made!
Our conclusion
The low carb casserole is very quick to prepare. Although it comes without carbs, you should still not eat too much of it. Because the chicken from the oven is thanks to cream, cheese and ricotta rather high in calories than low. But if you're working out, you can definitely allow yourself that. In fact, our bodies need fats to function properly. Well, then: Meal!
