What can I serve with Green Chili Chicken?

There are many great side dish options! Serve with a salad filled with cheddar, bacon, ranch and avocado for a refreshing side (maybe try this one with asparagus).

Cauliflower rice is a keto friendly option, as well as my favorite Crispy Zucchini Fries. These Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans would be a great pairing as well!

If you’re looking for a good low-carb bread option, try these Keto Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits,this keto twist on the Red Lobster copycat biscuits, or these Rosemary Garlic Keto Dinner Rolls!

Alternatively, there are many low carb wraps on the market that contain 3-5 net carbs each (or you could make these Zucchini Tortillas that only have about one net carb each!). This Green Chili Chicken would make the perfect burrito or quesadilla filling!

How do I store and reheat Keto Green Chili Chicken?

This recipe is great for leftovers because it reheats so well. Refrigerate any leftovers in an air-tight container up to five days. To reheat, microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed throughout.

Is this good for meal prepping?

Yes, this Keto Green Chili Chicken would be a great option for meal prep! Instead of making this ahead of time and freezing, it’s best to prepare this in steps so that it comes together even quicker when you’re ready to eat.

On meal prep day, cook and shred your chicken and set it aside for this casserole. You could also make the cream sauce and refrigerate up to seven days prior to eating. If these two components are already make, this recipe can be ready to eat in about 15 minutes!
