This low carb recipe is a favorite in my house. The best keto foods all in one, you’re sure to enjoy this lemon and herb chicken casserole.

🔔This video is two recipes in one. If you want to make the casserole dish, you can use any left over chicken rather than the lemon & herb chicken I made in the video.
