Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

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

Cheese Topping

3/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup finely crushed parmesan crisps (or pork rinds)

Other

Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the casserole.
Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, to release its aroma and flavor.
Cook Chicken Mixture: Add Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, almond flour, and cubed cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes to combine the flavors and thicken the sauce slightly.
Prepare Casserole Dish: 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 Layers: Layer grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken mixture, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese, and then sprinkle the finely crushed parmesan crisps or pork rinds on top for a crunchy texture.
Bake Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle and prevent burns.

Notes

You can substitute pork rinds for parmesan crisps if you prefer a different crunch.
Using rotisserie chicken saves time but cooked chicken breast can be used as an alternative.
No added sugar marinara sauce keeps the dish keto-friendly; check labels to ensure low carbs.
Letting the casserole rest after baking improves texture and flavor melding.
