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 grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup finely crushed parmesan crisps (or pork rinds)
  • Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the casserole dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 3/4 cup marinara sauce, 2 tablespoons almond flour, and the cubed chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
  4. 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 prepared dish.
  5. Add Cheese Layers: Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese over the chicken mixture, followed by 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Finally, top with 3/4 cup finely crushed parmesan crisps or pork rinds to add a crunchy texture.
  6. Bake: 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.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This resting time helps the casserole set slightly for easier serving. Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly Chicken Parmesan Casserole!

Notes

  • You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour if preferred, but reduce the quantity to 1 tablespoon due to its absorbency.
  • If you don’t have parmesan crisps or pork rinds, you can use crushed pork cracklings or omit the topping for a softer texture.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time, but you can cook and cube chicken breast if preferred.
  • Ensure marinara sauce used is sugar-free to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara mixture before baking.
