Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Chicken Cheese Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, sharp cheddar, avocado mayonnaise, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir until creamy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Sauté diced red onion in reserved bacon fat for about 3 minutes, then add baby Bella mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, add minced garlic and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and cream sauce in a large bowl, then pour into an 8x12-inch casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the mixture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for a golden finish, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Let the bake sit for 10 minutes before serving.
