Low Carb Grande Chicken Casserole

This is a low carb recipe I got off cookbooksandrecipes.com that I made and thought it was tasty! It is a pretty quick and easy low carb recipe but I do not like to pound out chicken so I used the thin sliced chicken instead(like in the low carb chicken parm).


Grande Chicken Casserole
Serves: 3 @ 5 carb

Ingredients:

3-4 chicken breasts, pounded even but not too thin
salt, pepper, garlic powder
2 T olive oil
¼ lb. sausage
4 oz cream cheese, soft
1 cup shredded cheddar, divided
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced

Preheat oven to 350°F. Season chicken. Brown chicken for 3 minutes each side. Set aside. Crumble and cook sausage until brown. Drain well. Spray casserole dish and place mushrooms in the bottom. Place chicken on top. Mix cooked sausage, cream cheese and ½ the cheddar and spoon (and smooth) over chicken. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake further 15 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked.
