Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the chicken: Evenly spread the cooked shredded chicken over the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a solid base layer.
  3. Season the chicken: Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the chicken to infuse flavor.
  4. Add marinara sauce: Pour the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly on top of the seasoned chicken, ensuring full coverage for moistness and flavor.
  5. Top with cheeses: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara layer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese on top to create a rich and cheesy crust.
  6. Bake the casserole: Place the dish uncovered in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Broil for browning (optional): Turn on the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown and crisp the cheese topping, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve hot for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use cooked shredded chicken breast from rotisserie chicken or poach chicken breasts for convenience.
  • Make sure to use sugar-free marinara sauce to keep the dish keto-friendly.
  • The crushed red pepper flakes add a mild spicy kick but can be omitted for a milder dish.
  • Broiling is optional but recommended for a golden-brown cheesy crust.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
