Description
A simple, high-protein casserole that captures the flavor of Chicken Parmesan without the heavy breading, suitable for low carb or keto diets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds cooked chicken diced
- 1 ½ cups keto marinara divided
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 5 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 cup of the marinara, and ricotta cheese.
- Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and spread the remaining ½ cup of marinara over the chicken. Top with the sliced parmesan and fresh mozzarella cheese.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and almond flour. Sprinkle this topping over the casserole.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and bubbly. You can brown the top under the broiler for a few minutes if you prefer more color.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve.
Notes
- If you use jarred marinara instead of homemade, add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ½ teaspoon garlic powder to it.
- You can prepare this casserole up to two days ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator.
- Allow the dish to come to room temperature before baking, or place the cold casserole dish in the oven while it preheats to prevent the dish from cracking.
- Leftovers keep well for up to four days.
