Chicken Tetrazzini
Cook time: 60 minutes
Chicken tetrazzini but keto
Ingredients
- 3 zucchini medium
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ onion diced
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless, chopped
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp xantham gum
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Make noodles out of the zucchini and salt to remove water. (30ish minutes)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic to the pan, stirring as needed. When onions become translucent, add the chopped chicken breast and increase temperature to medium-high.
- Once the chicken cooks to a white color, add heavy cream to the pan and thoroughly mix while bringing the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from heat and whisk in the xantham gum little by little to thicken. If you prefer a thinner, runnier sauce, leave this out or cut the amount in half.
- Arrange zucchini noodles in the bottom of a deep casserole dish. The zucchini should entirely cover the bottom of the bakeware about an inch thick. For ten servings of the recipe, I use a 9 x 6-inch dish.
- Add the creamy chicken mushroom sauce to the top of the zucchini noodles. Smooth the mixture evenly over the top to distribute throughout the casserole dish.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and bake for 40 minutes.
