Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

4 cups cubed rotisserie chicken (or chicken breast, cooked and cubed)
3/4 cup no added sugar marinara sauce
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp almond flour
3/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup finely crushed parmesan crisps (or pork rinds)
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time your casserole is ready to bake.
Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Combine Ingredients: Add Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, almond flour, and cubed chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the almond flour to thicken the sauce slightly.
Prepare Casserole Dish: Lightly spray a 9” x 13” casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the chicken and marinara mixture evenly into the dish.
Add Cheese Layer: Evenly sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the chicken mixture, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese, and then the finely crushed parmesan crisps or pork rinds for a crunchy topping.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the casserole is hot throughout and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and make serving easier.

Notes

You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked chicken breast if preferred.
If you don’t have parmesan crisps, crushed pork rinds provide a great crispy topping and keep the dish keto-friendly.
Be careful not to burn the garlic during sautéing as it can become bitter.
Make sure to use no sugar added marinara sauce to keep this recipe keto-compliant.
This casserole can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
