Keto Divine Chicken Divan Casserole. Back in the day, you know, like the middle ages, this was cheap college fare and we made it with Cream of Mushroom & Cream of Celery soups with a potato chip topping. And as Robert Burns wrote; those days are Auld Lang Syne or times gone by. But then again, I did not cook with heavy cream and certainly not Port wine. Gruyere cheese? Porcini dust? Never heard of ‘em. There are probably about as many recipes for this as there are cooks and this is just my own tasty version of keto divine chicken divan casserole.
This is one of those all inclusive meals and pretty complete with a big salad of greens and maybe a wee bit of dessert. If you opt for the Topping you will need Carbalose Flour Bread to make the crumbs and they are included in the nutritionals. Otherwise you may subtract 1.3 Net Carbs, and add GroundPork Rinds instead.
