    This Keto Chicken Cabbage Casserole is an easy and healthy one-pan meal on a busy weeknight or a delicious side dish for a group. It's low carb, primal and GAPS friendly. 

    Keto Chicken Cabbage Casserole (Low Carb, Primal, GAPS) - An easy and healthy one-pan meal on a busy weeknight or a delicious side dish for a group. Chicken & Cabbage smothered in cheesy garlic flavors for a nourishing meal. #lowcarb #onepan

    Layered cabbage and chicken smothered with an egg, cheese and garlic mixture allows all the flavors to infuse together for an easy weeknight meal. This casserole is great for a one-pan meal for four or as a side dish for up to 9 people.

    Cooking Cabbage for Low Carb Option

    Cabbage is a great low-carb staple. It's versatile, delicious and easy on the wallet. The most important thing to remember about cabbage is that it will release lots of juice during the cooking process. That's why this casserole dish is best cooked uncovered to allow that extra liquid to evaporate.

    After it's thoroughly and completely cooked, there will be a bit of liquid on the bottom of the dish but it won't be excessive.

    Using Leftover Cooked Chicken

    The beauty of this recipe is that you can use roast chicken meat or rotisserie chicken or whatever other cooked chicken you have on hand. This low carb casserole is perfect to save turkey meat from its demise after the holidays as well. Because the flavor is in the egg and cheese mixture, it really doesn't matter the source of the meat. You can even use store-bought grilled chicken and dice it up.

    Helpful Tips for this Keto Chicken Cabbage Casserole

    • Use whatever cooked chicken you have on hand. Leftover rotisserie chicken, roast chicken, grilled chicken, etc..
    • This cabbage casserole serves 4 people comfortable as main course but can also make a great side dish.
    • The addition of cottage cheese makes this more filling (protein!), delicious and nutritious. I prefer the large curds but use what you have available to you.
    • Because cabbage releases natural juices, keep the casserole uncovered to allow the liquid to evaporate during cooking.
    • This cabbage and chicken casserole can be stored in the refrigerator covered for up to 4 days. Reheat in a covered cast iron skillet on medium high heat for 4 minutes.

      Made this! It was delicious. I tend to prefer my cabbage a little more cooked, so next time I might have it baking away while I'm deboning my cooked chicken or making the top sauce... Otherwise, perfect!

      I made this for my wife, oh yea, it was great! The cabbage was almost all the way cooked, another 10 minutes maybe. Like one review said, I may precook the cabbage partially first. I didn't have any bacon or cottage cheese, so I used a little extra sour cream and a little bit more Shredded cheddar. The topping was divine, could always add more next time!

        Hi Kelly,
        Great to hear you loved it. I've not tried freezing leftovers so I'm not sure. However, dairy doesn't freeze all that well without changing the texture.

      Could you use ground chicken instead?

        Certainly! But you would have to cook it first. 🙂
