The cornerstone of the low carb diet is fat. Eating fat will make you feel physically satiated, and it can help you maintain a healthy weight. This is why many low carb diets promote eating fatty cuts of meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb.
Keto Chicken Divan – Made with chicken, broccoli, cheddar cheese, and cauliflower rice, this low carb chicken divan dish is the perfect comfort meal.
What is the meaning of Chicken Divan?
If you haven’t read it yet, I already published the normal non-keto version of this dish on my blog, so go check it out.
So, what exactly is Chicken Divan? It’s a casserole dish developed by chef Lagasi that’s often served with broccoli and Mornay sauce. The name was given in the early twentieth century by the Divan Parisien Restaurant at the New York City Chatham Hotel, where this meal was served as the trademark dish. The term ‘Divan’ alludes to a large hall or meeting place.
It’s made with ordinary Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese in today’s American casserole recipes.
Can I Make This Keto Chicken Divan Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! This keto low carb chicken divan may be prepared the night before or in the morning and baked whenever you want to serve it.
What Is The Best Way To Serve This Keto-Friendly Chicken Divan?
When I make this for lunch, I simply enjoy it and eat it all by myself, with nothing on the side to accompany it. However, it goes well with a green salad, low-carb biscuits, or mashed cauliflower.
Substitute Ingredients
- I used fresh boneless chicken breasts, but canned chicken breasts may also be used. You may also substitute canned tuna for the chicken.
- If you don’t like broccoli, substitute spinach and mushrooms (cook the mushrooms with the broth to absorb excess liquid).
- Broccoli may easily be substituted with leftover sautéed kale or frozen kale.
- Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of curry for the sauce if you want to create keto chicken divan with curry.

- Add the cauliflower and the chicken broth after it’s softened. Cook for 10-12 minutes with the lid on.
- When the time is nearly up, inspect it and remove it from the pot, setting it aside.
- Add the lemon juice and heavy cream to the saucepan and cook for approximately 10 minutes on low, uncovered. Make sure it doesn’t burn out from the bottom by stirring in between.
- Add the mayonnaise, stir thoroughly, and remove from the heat.
- With a fork, shred the chicken and add half to the cauliflower cream mixture and the other half to the bottom of an 8×8 casserole dish.
- On top of the chicken, layer steamed, chopped broccoli (or roasted broccoli).
