Instructions

How to Make Keto Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter.
• Add coconut flour and mix. Stir mixture quickly until it thickens.
• Add chicken stock and turn heat up to medium. Whisk to incorporate, then add almond milk and whisk. Finally, add xanthan gum, salt, and pepper.
• Turn up the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a low boil for 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let sit for at least 5 minutes before using it in your casserole (use this time to do other steps, like crush your pork rinds, diced chicken, etc).
• The condensed soup will thicken further as it cools. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to a day.

How to Make Keto Buttery Chicken Casserole

• Preheat oven to 325 F and grease an 8×8” casserole dish. (I used coconut oil.)
• Sprinkle half of the crushed pork rinds* on the bottom of the casserole dish, fully covering the bottom. Drizzle 3 tbsp of the melted butter on top. (*The easiest way to crush pork rinds is to stick them in a large Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin.)
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine condensed soup, sour cream, chicken broth, diced cooked chicken breast, and diced cooked bacon.
• Add the mixture to the casserole dish, evenly covering the pork rinds.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining pork rinds and melted butter.
• Sprinkle the mixture in the casserole dish, evenly covering the top.
• Bake casserole for 30 to 35 minutes until the pork rinds have formed a nice crust.
