Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (avocado oil mayo if preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional for extra stretch)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (regular paprika works too)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water (to loosen sauce if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup crushed pork rinds (plain, for crunch)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a medium casserole dish with a little butter or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth. If the cream cheese is too firm, microwave the mixture for 15–20 seconds to soften.
  3. Add garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly blended.
  4. Fold in 1/2 cup cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan. The mixture will be thick. If it feels too stiff, add 1–2 tablespoons of chicken broth to loosen it slightly.
  5. Add the shredded or diced chicken to the bowl. Toss until every piece is coated with the creamy sauce.
  6. Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar over the top.
  7. In a small bowl, mix almond flour, crushed pork rinds, and melted butter. Stir until it forms a crumbly topping.
  8. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the casserole. Press lightly so it adheres.
  9. Bake for 22–28 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the topping is golden brown. If you like extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  10. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if you like.
