Description
A low-carb, high-protein twist on a classic, featuring layers of savory chicken, marinara, and melted cheese topped with crispy parmesan.
Ingredients
Scale
4 cups cubed rotisserie chicken (cooked)
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
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (~1 min).
- Add Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, almond flour, and cooked chicken. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes.
- Spray a 9’x13′ casserole dish with non-stick spray. Pour in the chicken mixture.
- Layer grated parmesan cheese, then shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
- Top evenly with the finely crushed parmesan crisps.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a crispier topping, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking (watch closely).
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or microwave.
- For a pork-free alternative to traditional pork rinds, parmesan crisps work perfectly.
