Notes
- We used a cast iron skillet since they can go from stovetop to broiler, not all cookware can get broiled. If you don't have one skip broiling the cheese.
- Double and cook in a 9x13 pan if you're serving a large group or want leftovers.
- We love to meal prep chicken to freeze for easy dishes like this. Rotisserie chicken is another alternative to get dinner on the table fast but it does add more salt.
- Rao's makes the best keto-friendly marinara sauce that has no added sugar, plus it tastes like homemade.
- Feel free to add an extra ½ cup of marinara to the dish if you want it to be a little saucier! We love to just drizzle extra heated sauce over the top before serving.
