Keto Chicken Parmesan Casserole Recipe
Traditional chicken parm is amazing. But it’s often higher in carbs. My keto chicken parmesan casserole keeps all the flavor. Yet, it is without the extra carbs. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients. It will become a family favorite on busy weeknights.
Equipment
1 Casserole Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast or chicken thighs. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Whether you want to use the skin-on or skinless is completely up to you.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove of minced fresh garlic
- 1/4 cup of freshly chopped onion
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 1 jar x 24 oz no added sugar marinara sauce (or tomato sauce)
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded gooey mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175C (350F).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken breast pieces with olive oil, garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken just to sear it and make it golden brown. You want juicy chicken, so don’t overcook it!
- In a casserole dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Add the cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles on top.
- Add the cooked chicken over the rice/noodles. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and shredded gooey mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes. You want a golden brown, bubbly top.
- Garnish with fresh fresh basil before serving.
