Keto Costco Chicken Bake
If you’ve never had a Chicken Bake from the Costco food court before you are missing out. It is a savory golden dough filled with chicken, cheese, bacon, and a creamy parmesan garlic sauce. This easy keto recipe is also low carb, gluten-free, grain-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
Oh, Costco Chicken Bake. I have missed you. I shop at Costco 3 or 4 times a month. It is one of the easiest stores to run into with children. It is one of the only stores I will brave with all four of my children. The only downside to Costco is the samples (they want to try every single one) and the food court (“Mom, can we get smoothies, pizza, french fries?). These baked chicken strombolis have become so popular they now even offer frozen chicken bakes.
I’ve been wanting one of the Costco Chicken Bakes from the food court for months and months. I knew I wanted to try to make a gluten free low carb keto homemade version and my craving finally got strong enough that I couldn’t ignore it any longer.
How to Make a Low Carb Costco Chicken Bake
Step One: Make low carb pizza dough. I use a mozzarella based pizza dough recipe as the base of this chicken bake recipe and most of my pizza recipes.
Step Two: Mix together chicken, homemade caesar salad dressing ingredients (the sauce in this tastes like the best homemade Caesar dressing), and cheese.
Step Three: Put the filling on top of the dough.
Step Four: Fold the dough around the filling into a log shape. Sprinkle with additional cheese.
Step Five: Bake. Eat the delicious low carb chicken cheese bake strombolis.
Variations
Green Onions – slice up some fresh scallions or green onions and mix them into the chicken mixture before using it as filling.
Bacon Bits – if you don’t eat pork bacon go ahead and use some turkey bacon in place of the bacon crumbles.
Can I use leftover chicken in the Costco chicken bake?
Absolutely! This keto chicken bake is a great way to use up leftover chicken, either chicken breast or chicken thighs work. No one will complain if you make over leftover night with this recipe.

Low Carb Costco Chicken Bake
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients:
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 egg the dough mixes easier if it is room temperature
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup ground golden flax or additional almond flour
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or cubed
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup bacon crumbles
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp egg white
- 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Put mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave one minute. Stir. Microwave 30 seconds. Stir. At this point, all the cheese should be melted. Microwave 30 more seconds until uniform and gloopy (it should look like cheese fondue at this point). Mix in the egg and baking mix. You will need to dump it onto wax paper and knead it by hand to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients or you can do this in a food processor with the dough blade.
- Press or roll into a large rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. It helps to use wet hands or cover the top with the second piece of parchment. Cut the dough into 3 rectangles.
- Combine all the ingredients for the filling. Divide the filling between them. Gently pull the sides up and around the filling pressing the seams together to stay closed. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with the parmesan.
- Bake on a pizza stone for 40-50 minutes until golden brown.

I’ve never had a chicken bake from Costco, but wanted something different for dinner tonight. This recipe came together easily with some rotisserie chicken I had in the freezer. The flavor is good, but we prefer our food a little more moist. Next time I make it-and there will be a next time :-), I’ll double the sauce ingredients. Thanks Taryn for another fabulous recipe!
