The Best Keto Chicken Lasagna Casserole (Without Zucchini Noodles!)

A lasagna that is keto?  Yes!

Lasagna doesn’t always have to be about the carb-filled noodles, red sauce, and meat. This keto chicken lasagna has a different spin, and it’s a definite keeper. With a rich and creamy white sauce, this flavorful keto dish makes the best comfort food.

All you low-carb eaters are probably very familiar with zucchini noodles but maybe wanting to change things up. These Veggie Pasta Noodles from Natural Heaven (made from Hearts of Palm) will do just that. The veggie noodles bring all the pasta cravings to an end without all the carbs. Seriously, these noodles are the best!

The flavors of chicken, mushroom, and spinach are a great combo, but when you add this creamy sauce to the mix, WOW! This sauce hits all the notes.

HIP TIPS:

  • You can use a rotisserie chicken to cut your time in half.
  •  Not a fan of mushrooms or spinach?  No worries. Just omit them and instead you could add in red peppers, jalapenos, and green chilies to bring the heat!
