I found this quick and tasty recipe online last week when I hadn’t been to the grocery store and was working with the limited ingredients that I had on hand. In my pre-Trim Healthy Mama days, I regularly made a chicken parmesan recipe that included dredging the chicken in butter and then a mix of bread crumbs and spices before baking. It has been several years since I’ve made my “old” recipe. Here is the link to the Chicken Parmesan Casserole from the website Hey Keto Mama. I have not perused the website, only this one recipe. It was well written, had pictures, nutritional information, and I thought it was easy to put together. I already had the chicken cooked. It did take five minutes to get it ready to put in the oven.
And here it is hot from the oven. And you will see that only about two-thirds of the casserole is covered in the crunchy topping. The part without the topping is mine. The topping is made from pork rinds, and I don’t do pork. This pretty much sums up how the food split goes in our home. The Salesman eats about two-thirds of a dish, and I eat about one-third. The recipe called for an 8 inch pan and I already had my Trim Healthy Mama Trimtastic cake in it, so my next choice was an 8 x 12 inch pan. We each had three meals from this dish. I thought it was good! The marinara sauce and the basil were tasty to me. The Salesman did not comment. So, of course I asked, and he said it was okay…
Here is my plate without the crunchy topping:

Enjoy!
