    In your search for a dairy-free Keto chicken and broccoli casserole, you may not have found exactly what you were looking for.

    Most recipes involve cheddar cheese, cream cheese, or sour cream, but who says that broccoli always has to be smothered in creamy dairy? It is tasty, for sure, yet there are other delicious ways of improving the flavor of food. Often it is accomplished with herbs, other times with coconut milk.

    Keto Chicken And Broccoli Casserole

    Whether you are following a Paleo or keto lifestyle, coconut milk may be a staple in your low-carb pantry. However, you will want to carefully read the labels on cans of coconut milk if you are concerned about the effects of guar gum or Bisphenol-A (BPA) in your diet.

    Refrigerated cartons of coconut milk may also contain preservatives or added sweeteners. One can never be too careful! Alternatively, you can skip the excess packaging and questionable ingredients and make your own homemade coconut milk in less than 10 minutes.

    Here's how: heat 4 cups of water (not quite boiling) and add it to 1.5 - 2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut in a blender; blend on high until the mixture thickens and strain through layers of cheesecloth. It keeps for a few days in the fridge; just stir before using.

    With any leftover coconut milk, you can attempt a new-to-you coconut lime chicken soup or save it for a scrumptious keto seafood chowder this weekend.
