Prepare and Mix Filling

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. In a skillet over medium heat, warm up a bit of oil and cook the chopped onion until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked onion with shredded chicken, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, seasoned salt, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Stir in half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and the green chiles until everything is well mixed. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of your prepared pan, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs, then stir in the crushed pork rinds. Pour this mixture over the casserole to cover it. Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the top is set and looks golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for even cooking and easier shredding.
- If you like it spicier, add extra chili powder or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.

Why you’ll love it

This dish is packed with flavor and protein while keeping the carbs low. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty meal without the extra carbs. Plus, the spicy chili adds a nice kick that warms you up on cooler days.

Serving ideas

Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to keep the meal light and balanced. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top can add creaminess and extra flavor.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the casserole moist. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw overnight before reheating.
