Keto Grecian Chicken w Veggie Casserole
Dinner or lunch is served! Greek-style chicken breasts are marinated in a blend of seasonings and dried herbs with olive oil. They’re roasted in your oven and finished with a simple lemon butter glaze. Served on the side of the chicken is a slice of vegetarian casserole. The egg-based casserole is made with Mediterranean veggies and more Greek-inspired spices. Don’t worry, feta cheese is included! If you are using this recipe for meal prepping, you can store each portion of chicken and casserole together in a meal prep container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure the casserole is completely cooled before sealing it in containers or else excess moisture will build up. You can easily microwave your meal when you’re ready to re-heat it. To keep the chicken from tasting dry, and to increase your fat macros, you can make extra lemon butter to dip the chicken in while you eat it throughout the week.
What Is Grecian Chicken?
Grecian Chicken may also be known as Athenian Chicken. While the name is an Americanized version, this style of chicken is entirely Mediterranean-inspired. Greek chicken is often made with a heavy blend of spices with multiple herbs. Oregano, basil, and thyme are the most popularly used herbs, along with light seasonings and salt. Greek chicken is also recognized by its use of lemon, which is why you brush your Keto Grecian Chicken with a quick-made lemon butter.
Make The Whole Meal Vegetarian
If you like the veggie casserole in this recipe, head to the Carb Manager Vegetarian Greek Casserole. It’s the same recipe without the chicken included. Use the casserole as a side dish to your vegetarian meal. It’s great alongside a salad topped with tofu, a “meaty” portabella mushroom steak, or another favorite Keto vegetarian main course.

Recipe Steps

Step 1
Prepare the chicken breast by cutting it into 4-ounce pieces. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken breasts and pound them with either a wooden mallet or rolling pin. When the chicken is pounded down to a ½-inch thickness, remove the plastic and rub olive oil into the meat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight before you continue on to Step 2.Step 2
When the chicken is done marinating, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place a baking rack on a sheet tray, and line the tray with aluminum foil to catch any drippings. Arrange the chicken breasts on the baking rack before sending them into the oven to cook for 45 minutes on a middle rack. While the chicken is cooking, you can prepare the casserole.Step 3
Use a mandolin to thin-slice zucchini and mushroom into small rounds. You want the veggies to be thin enough to bake to tenderness in the oven but thick enough to avoid breaking apart. Add the sliced veggies to a large mixing bowl, followed by sliced spinach and chopped feta cheese. Toss the ingredients with chopped basil, salt, pepper, and oregano.Step 4
Empty the contents into a clean glass baking dish. Four servings are made in a small, 7X5 baking dish in this recipe. Gently press the casserole filling down so the ingredients don’t rise above the edge of the dish. In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk, heavy cream, eggs, and salt. Pour the batter into the casserole dish, and let the batter fill in all the crevices.Step 5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in your oven for 30 minutes. Then, uncover the dish and cook for another 10 minutes. Look for a golden brown around the edges and sides of the casserole, and the egg should be completely baked through. Make sure all excess liquid has evaporated. Let the finished casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
