If you like this recipe, you have to try our dairy-free cubed chicken breast casserole and our dairy-free chicken thigh and broccoli casserole. They’re both dairy free and full of creamy deliciousness!
Creamy + Dairy-Free
Don’t you worry, this creamy chicken casserole lacks nothing in the creamy department! We keep it dairy-free by using mayo, and you can even get an egg-free mayo if you are avoiding eggs. We love Primal Kitchen Egg-Free Mayo. Either way, you’re going to love the creamy, velvety sauce and you won’t even miss the dairy. Promise. Looking for more?

Nutritional Yeast For That Cheesy Flavor
The cheesy flavor of the creamy sauce comes from nutritional yeast, and if you haven’t played much with it yet you’re going to really enjoy doing so. And just in case you read the word yeast and got scared…it is an inactive yeast, which means there is no live yeast that might cause issues with yeast or bacteria growth if you are working to correct that. In addition, nutritional yeast is also a good food source of Vitamin B and folate, so beyond the cheesy taste it is has some great health benefits!
Meal Prep Saves The Day
One of our favorite meal planning and prep tricks is to make a big dinner on Sunday. We are already going to cook, so it’s not really extra work. We just like to make it a larger meal, so we start the week with leftovers in the fridge for either lunches or dinner on a busy weeknight. It is seriously a no-brainer and one of the easiest ways to start the week with a little extra breathing room.
