Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (keto-friendly)
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for greasing the dish) Used to prevent sticking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
  3. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken, making sure to cover it thoroughly.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the marinara sauce.
  7. Evenly distribute the almond flour over the cheese layer for a delightful crunchy topping.
Cooking
  1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for around 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  2. Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Parmesan Casserole hot!

Notes

Top Tips: Don't overcook the chicken; ensure it reaches at least 165°F (75°C). Feel free to add sautéed veggies like zucchini or spinach to boost nutrients. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the microwave or oven.
