In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this creamy low carb chicken casserole with a light salad for a complete meal. A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette balances the richness of the casserole, making it a refreshing addition to your plate.

Storage and Reheating Tips

To store your creamy low carb chicken casserole, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four days. For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions. Just ensure they are well-sealed to prevent freezer burn.

When reheating, it's best to use the oven to maintain the casserole's creamy texture. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cover the dish with foil to prevent it from drying out.
