Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

4 cups cubed rotisserie chicken (or cooked chicken breast, 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
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 aromas.
Combine Sauce and Chicken: Add Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, almond flour, and cubed chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook together for 5 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.
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: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken layer, followed by an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Then, top the casserole with the finely crushed parmesan crisps or pork rinds for a crunchy finish.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

You can substitute rotisserie chicken with freshly cooked chicken breast for a fresher taste.
If you don’t have parmesan crisps, crushed pork rinds are a great low-carb alternative for the topping.
Use a no added sugar marinara sauce to keep this recipe keto-friendly and low in carbs.
Almond flour helps thicken the sauce while keeping carbs minimal—do not skip it.
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh basil or red pepper flakes before baking.
