Keto Chicken Cheesy Pesto Casserole - Easy & Fast

My family loves Pesto. I don't even have to ask them to eat it up. When your kids really like something, you keep it in rotation. So I am always looking for ways to add Pesto into a meal some how. I have searched and searched and I have think I have found a good one to add to our favorites. 

After searching Pinterest, I came across a recipe by Farmsteadchic. I looked it over and though my family would really like it but I changed it up some. This is a pretty easy recipe, especially since I used a rotisserie chicken, it was really easy to throw together. I love casseroles since you just mix everything together and bake! Easy Peasy! And as a busy mom, I need easy dinner options! 

Are you ready to see how I made it? Well here we go! 

Here's what you need: 

-Pan Spray - I use coconut spray

-Rotisserie chicken- I use everything that I can get off there

-1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise 

- 1 cup of sour cream

- 1 cup of pesto - I use the Costco brand

- 1/2 cups of grated parmesan cheese

- 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese

- 2 eggs

- ground pepper to taste

Here's how to make it: 

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Gather all your ingredients. 

2. Tear off all meat that you can get off of the rotisserie chicken that you can get. Set it aside. 

3. Add in the mayonnaise, sour cream and pesto.


4. Mix everything well.

5. Mix in both cheeses into the mix. 

6. Add some pepper and mix in. 


7. Add in the 2 eggs and mix well. 

8. Grab your 9 x 12 glass pan and line it with foil. Spray the inside of the pan with pan spray. 

9. Pour in mixture and make sure its even in the pan. 

10. Top with some more mozzarella and parmesan cheese. 

11. Pop it into the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

12. Once the timer is done, change it over to the broiler for about 3 minutes. Check in it every minute to make sure it's not boring. 


13. Take out and let sit for a few minutes.

14. Serve with your favorite Pasta and a veggie and you are ready for dinner! 


My family loves pesto so much that they choose to have pesto sauce on their pasta too! I made broccoli with the meal. 

How easy was that! Way too easy!

My meal plan for the week - 9/7/20 - Plus a Free Printable Meal Planner!

Another week, another grocery order. Before Covid, I used to go to the grocery store 2-3 a week. Some weeks, I would make a plan. Other weeks I would just go to the grocery store and fill my cart. We were so used to spending $250-$300 a week on groceries. Plus any Target runs added to that. But once we bought a more expensive house, I knew that I had to cut costs somewhere. 

Meal planning really not that hard. Just finding the 30 minutes to an hour 1 day a week is all you need to find. I normally do it on Friday night or Saturday morning. I use a planner that I bought at Marshalls to plan everything out. Since I didn't start in the beginning of the year, I have more than enough pages that are unused to make my food list out on. 

Last week I only changed my menu once. I worked a late day and I wasn't in the mood to make beef enchiladas. Plus we had a Mexican dish not to long ago. Luckily, I froze the ground beef to use for another meal. Save what you can! 


 This week we are having for dinner:

Monday: Cheesy Pesto Chicken Casserole w/ Pasta

Tuesday: Sausage w/ noodles and carrots 

Wednesday: Keto Meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes and broccoli 

Thursday: Left Overs

Friday: Kids Pick

Saturday: Green Chicken Chilies Casserole 

Sunday: Spagetti w/ Meatballs 

After making my list, now it's time to see what I need at the store. Some things I stock up on, so I don't always need to buy everything we need. Keeping a good stock of non perishables is so important just incase something happens. I like to be prepared always! 

Here is my grocery list: 

I do a grocery pick up either Saturday or Sunday, whatever is available. The best part about this is that I don't have to get out of the car! I drive up and they bring it out to my car. They confirm with me and then open up the back of my suburban and load it all in there. That's it! 

Once I get home, I just make sure I have everything. I think only once, I was missing something. On the Walmart app, I start a return and they refund me right away. Also, If you don't like the quality of the item, they refund you as well. And if they have to substitute an item, you get charged the amount of the item you pick, unless its cheaper. I do notice that normally if I get a substituted item, the item that they used a better item. That works for me. 

Here is what I ordered this week. 

I only had 1 issue on some cheese. I ordered some sliced sharp cheddar cheese and when I went to go use it, it looked like it had mold on it. Now this cheese was still sealed. I may have been a fluke, but I didn't want to take my chances, so I processed a refund on the cheese. It asked me about the issue and refunded my money right away. 

After I do a grocery pick up, I normally get a survey on how my grocery pick up way. I am completely honest, as this is the time for them to make their great service even better. So once I get the survey, I will inform them of the cheese issue.

September Club Couture - Fall Blessings

You will adore this gentle nod to the coziest season of the year, accented with the classic autumn Chalkology Paste colors that come in your kit this month—Pesto, Currant Jam, and Shimmer Copper. We also think this would look beautiful using Shimmer Harvest or Shimmer Gold, along with Papaya and Dune for a different look and feel. Use the elegant design as is, or try using the elements separately to create coordinating accents. “Blessings'' are welcome all year long! The more you explore, the more you’ll “Fall” in love.

 Supplies Needed

-Club Couture TransferFall Blessings

-Chalkology Paste Singles: Shimmer Copper, Currant Jam, Pesto

-ChalkologyTM Paste: Bright White (included in the optional Kickstart Kit)

-Tools: Mini Squeegee (2), Small SqueegeeColor TraysFuzzing Cloth and Transfer Trimmers 

-Surface: Couture GalleryTM Aiden White Frame (9" × 12")


Color and Placement for Club Couture


1. Fall: Ombr effect with Shimmer Copper and Currant Jam 
2. Blessings: Bright White
3. Wheat accents: Pesto

Follow these instructions to complete the Club Couture project:


1. Prepare your Chalk Transfer by removing it from the packaging and cut apart the individual elements. Label the backer papers with a marker to correspond with the image; this makes cleanup easier.

2. Before using each Transfer element, be sure to gently “fuzz” it to the adhesive by sticking the adhesive screen to a Fuzzing Cloth or terry towel to pick up a bit of lint before applying the Transfer to your board.

3. Center the word “Fall” on the board and smooth it out to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles.

4. Prepare each Chalkology Paste by kneading the packet, cutting or tearing off the corner, and squeezing the desired amount onto one of your Color Trays or another palette surface. Stir the paste if using 3 US fl. oz. jar.

5. Use a generous amount of Chalkology Paste on a Small Squeegee and smooth it over the top half of the letters (see color and placement suggestions). Use a clean squeegee to chalk the bottom half of the letters in a different color and blend the two colors together with your finger.

6. Once the screen portion of the design is completely covered, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape unused paste back into the palette. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.

7. When finished, slowly peel back the Transfer before the paste dries, and immediately clean the Transfer with water.

8. Once clean, let the Transfer dry with the sticky side up.

9. Allow sufficient drying time of your surface (or use a hair dryer to speed up drying) before layering subsequent steps.

10. Repeat these basic techniques with all elements of your design.

11. Once all the Transfer elements are clean and dry, reapply all backers and store flat.
