Although most people who try it enjoy it, quite a few people have told me that they wish it had a vegetable in it to make it a healthier casserole.

I’m here to deliver with this NEW Keto Buttered Chicken Casserole recipe! It’s a new-and-improved version of the original with added broccoli and cheddar cheese, plus an overall improved flavor and texture thanks to some recipe tweaks. While I like both versions, I think this one is the winner!
