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 and Topping
- 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 (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
- 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 but not browned.
- Combine Ingredients: Add Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, almond flour, and the cubed cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- 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.
- Layer Cheeses and Topping: Evenly layer the grated parmesan cheese first, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese. Finally, sprinkle the finely crushed parmesan crisps or pork rinds evenly on top to create a crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and to avoid burns.
Notes
- You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken breasts as preferred.
- If you prefer a more garlicky dish, add an extra garlic clove to the sauté step.
- Parmesan crisps can be replaced with crushed pork rinds or omit altogether for a softer topping.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute cheeses with vegan alternatives and ensure marinara sauce is free from dairy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
