The star of this dish is my spinach artichoke dip. I love how it turns simple ingredients like shredded chicken and pasta into a flavor-packed meal. The combination of spinach, artichokes, and cheese is just unbeatable. And the fact that it's keto-friendly and low carb makes it even better.
To make this casserole, simply cook some low carb pasta (I use Brami pasta in this recipe but my other favorite is Fiber Gourmet), shred some cooked chicken (leftovers or rotisserie work great), mix up the spinach artichoke dip with some heavy cream, and toss it all together. Top with shredded cheese and bake until it's hot and bubbly. To finish it off, sprinkle some fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley as a garnish.
Not only is this casserole delicious, but it's also a great way to sneak in some veggies without feeling like you're missing out on all the cheesy goodness. And with just a few simple ingredients, it's easy to put together on a busy weeknight.

🥘Keto Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole Ingredients
These are the ingredients necessary to make Keto Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole.
- Pasta - I used Brami Pasta in this recipe, it is my favorite low-carb pasta for texture. However, some people might find the bitter smell of the lupini beans as it cooks off-putting. Also, it is much higher in carbs than many others. For carb count, my favorite low-carb pasta is Fiber Gourmet Pasta.
- Spinach Artichoke Dip - This recipe is specifically designed around my Spinach Artichoke Dip, so I highly recommend using that for the best results. I cannot guarantee the outcome of the dish if a store-bought dip is used instead.
- Chicken - There are several options for cooking the chicken, such as searing, grilling, poaching, or using an Instant Pot. To save time, I usually keep cooked shredded chicken in my freezer, which can be prepared in an Instant Pot or slow cooker for meal prep. Alternatively, you can use leftovers or grab a rotisserie chicken for even more convenience.
- Mozzarella Cheese - For best results, I suggest cheese that is grated or shredded from a block to avoid hidden carbs and to ensure it melts smoothly. Use full-fat when available.
A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
🔪Keto Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole Instructions
This is a basic breakdown of the steps involved in making Keto Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole. You will find the full directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Fill a large pot with salt water and bring it to a boil. Cook the low-carb pasta per package instructions.
Meanwhile in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm the spinach artichoke dip up until it begins to melt, about 3 or 4 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and whisk until it is completely combined.
Remove the sauce from the heat and add the cooked pasta and chicken. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes then remove from oven and top with the mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler so the cheese gets bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Hint: always watch carefully when the casserole is under the broiler as it can burn quickly!
Substitutions
- Pasta - you can use any low-carb short-cut pasta but I suggest the Brami or Fiber Gourmet.
- Chicken - swap out the chicken for cooked and crumbled sausage or ground beef. You could also try using cooked shrimp instead of chicken for a seafood twist.
- Cheese - you can use a different type of cheese or a combination of cheeses. For example, you could try using pepper jack cheese or a blend of cheddar and Parmesan.
📖Variations
- Spicy - saute chopped jalapeno before adding the spinach artichoke dip, or add chopped pickled jalapenos, or crushed red pepper flakes.
- Bacon - cook some bacon until crispy and chop it into small pieces. Sprinkle the bacon on top of the casserole before baking.
- Veggie Supreme - try adding some sautéed mushrooms, roasted red peppers, or diced zucchini to the casserole before baking.
- Vegetarian - omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Add some extra veggies like kale or broccoli for added texture and nutrition.

The pasta you recommended is not very low carb at all. I wish it was. The rest of the recipe looks and sounds good.

You are always welcome to subsitute whatever ingredients meet your dietary needs as there is a broad range of keto and low-carb diet requirements out there.

Your suggested pasta is not exactly low carb. I hope it is. The remaining components of the recipe also seem promising.

I explained the choice of this pasta brand in the post, as well as suggested a different brand if you would like to lower the carb count. Low carb can be everything from 20 net cars per day to 150 so I encourage people to subsitiute ingredients if needed to meet their dietary needs. I hope you give this recipe a try with a pasta that has a carb count that will meet yours.
