It’s time for low carb and Keto chicken divan casserole, a classic dish that is super easy to make. And each serving has just 345 calories and 3g net carbs.
Greetings Internet friends.
Right now I’m just sitting here, eating some delicious Keto Chicken Divan and catching up on my Internet memes. It seems that I am late to the party on a new one.
It’s a global phenomenon known as “Baby Shark”. (video below)
“Baby Shark” is a kid’s song and animation from Japan that has about 1.8 billion views as of this minute. Since the world has only 7 billion people, I’m kind of amazed that I haven’t heard about it before now.
But this runaway meme has spawned a video challenge too.
It’s called the #BabySharkChallenge and it has adults and kids performing the ridiculously catchy song and videotaping it. Which brings me to today’s video: The Biggest “Baby Shark” ever with James Corden, Sophie Turner and Josh Groban. (video below) It is truly a thing of beauty.
Also a thing of beauty: this Keto Chicken Divan I just made.
It’s pure comfort food. This low carb casserole is made up of chicken and broccoli in a cream cheese and mayonnaise sauce, topped with melted cheddar cheese. I could eat this stuff all day. And with only 3g net carbs, it wouldn’t even be that bad for me if I did. With a Keto casserole like this one, you can splurge a little. Ok, it’s time for me to sing myself out.
Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo…

My mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. So good to have a low carb version of it.

We had it in our house all the time too. I was happy to realize that the low carb version is not so different than the classic one. You just need to skip the starchy side dish.
