Low Carb Carbonara Chicken Bake
Inspired by the classic Italian flavors of a Carbonara, this keto bake is rich with cream and cheese and the saltiness of bacon. For a keto friendly take on the dish, the traditional pasta element is replaced by a buttery layer of leeks.
This recipe makes a great family meal or for entertaining multiple guests.

The serving size as written is wonky, but I read it as 4 servings total, one serving or slice as 1/4th of the total casserole. As a dinner, that makes more sense to me.

I love this recipe. Everyone I make it for loves it. My Son has started making it for his girlfriend. The only adjustment I make is I do add a little bit of lemon to the cream mixture kinda taste like lemon pepper carbonara.. Sometimes I add mushrooms, depending on who’s eating it.

So the recipe says that it’s 4 serving but the serving size is half a slice. So that means it’s actually eight servings then? And each serving is less than 2 ounces? Seems like a toddler size portion. If I bump it up to a full slice is almost 700 cal. It seems like a lot. I’m so confused.

Your right about that. 100grams, it doesn't look right t all. 6 pieces of small size chicken & some sauce.

Serving size says 3.5oz. Still smallish for 9 carbs.

This is more of a alfredo dish where as carbonera is made with parmesan and egg. Looks good!

LOVE. I took some of the tips (cream cheese, paprika, cooked leeks in bacon fat)& added some ingredients. Mushrooms, poultry seasoning & shirataki noodles. OH MY GOSH so Good!

This is delicious! I changed a few things though. I added cream cheese, paprika, a little bit of lawry salt. Instead of sautéing the leeks in butter I used the bacon grease and instead of chicken breast I used a whole rotisserie chicken. This is a good solid filling meal.

This was so yummy. I made exactly as written but I sprinkled fresh Italian parsley on after it was done. I think next time I will use half n half with a tbsp or two of cream cheese. This was so easy to make and tasted very decadent.

1 leek here was 200 grams, not sure how you got 2 leeks at 178?
Qwkvet 4 years ago
you must have microscopically thin sliced bacon to get 48 grams from 6 slices. i had regular cut bacon and 4 slices were 174 grams before cooking. Yes it will weigh less after cooking but nowhere near the extent needed to end up with 48 grams?
Qwkvet 4 years ago
6 medium slices of bacon...48 grams???

I tried this tonight, was delicious. Recipe said serve immediately, but I found letting it stand for another few minutes the sauce thickened up. Hubby gave it a 9/10 and for a carbivore I’ll take that!

This is the bomb! Added mushrooms and roasted pablano peppers. i could eat the whole pan by myself!

We followed the recipe exactly as written and it turned out great! The sauce was really runny, but it was really delish. Thank you!

With this dish - what is calculated as one serving or one slice - ie how much volume

This is good but very rich. Needs a bit of relief. Going to add 1/2C Zoodles tomorrow.

I used spinach, sliced Brussel sprouts and leeks, more bacon and more chicken a little more butter and lessened the cream a quarter cup and used chicken stock. Finished with the parm turned out awesome.
