    This Keto Jalapeño Popper Casserole with Chicken is every keto person's dream on a plate, um, in a skillet! It's super easy to make, perfect for picky eaters (even one's who don't like spice if you remove the ribs + seeds from the jalapeños), and great for leftovers!

    Read on below for helpful tips + tricks, and ways to even take it up another notch before skipping straight to the recipe below. Also, don't forget to give your star rating on the recipe and tag us @castiron_keto on Instagram if you make this recipe!

    Oh! And we obviously love the jalapeño popper theme, check out our Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushrooms with Bacon, Stuffed Zucchini Boats with Jalapeño Popper Chicken, Keto Jalapeño Popper Meatloaf with Bacon, and our Jalapeno Popper Chicken.

    Want more cheese in this Keto Jalapeño Popper Casserole?

    Ok, here us out. This recipe is 💣 as is but if you want to take it to an insane level of cheesy deliciousness, try stuffing the jalapeño halves with a cream cheese, garlic salt, green onion mixture before you top it with the cheddar cheese and bacon. Thank us later 😉 Just remember that you also need vegetables so load up on a huge leafy green salad while you're at it 😉

    SHORT ON TIME? USE A ROTISSERIE CHICKEN!

    Most of the time we have shredded chicken on hand for easy meals throughout the week but on days when we don’t and are short on time, we love to take the easy route and use a rotisserie chicken. Just be sure to remove the skin before shredding.

    MEAL-PREP OPTIONS

    Are you the type to meal prep at the beginning of the week? If so, these casseroles are perfect for you! You can assemble the casseroles 1-2 days ahead of time then finish baking on the day you’re going to serve it. Or, you can assemble and bake at the beginning of the week and portion out servings into meal-prep containers for an easy grab-and-go option.

    WHAT SIZE SKILLET + OTHER PAN OPTIONS

    We used a 10.25″ skillet, we also love this dual handle cast-iron casserole skillet. If you want to go the classic casserole dish route, just use a classic 9×13 baking dish.

      My Family was over the moon with this one. With each bite there were groans of satisfaction.
      I would use onion powder rather than onion salt to reduce the salt in the recipe but other than that it was easy and great!
