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.
