What Makes This Recipe Unique

Rich in flavor and protein while keeping carbs low. It’s perfect for those who want a comforting meal without the extra carbohydrates. Plus, it’s easy to make and satisfying for the whole family.

Chef Tips

- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for juicier meat.
- Brown the chicken well before baking to add extra flavor.
- Add a bit of smoked paprika or chili powder to enhance the smoky taste.

Step 1

Gently heat 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 toss in the chopped onion. Cook it, stirring now and then, until it softens and becomes translucent—this usually takes about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Once the onion is ready, mix it together with the shredded chicken, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, seasoned salt, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Stir in half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese along with the green chiles. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of your baking dish, then sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and eggs until smooth. Add the crushed pork rinds and give everything a good stir. Pour this mixture over the chicken layer in the baking dish.

Step 4

Pop the casserole into the oven and bake it uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the top is set and looks golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!

Great Ways To Serve

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to keep the meal light and balanced. A dollop of sour cream or avocado slices can add creaminess and richness.

Leftover Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken tender. This casserole also freezes well for up to 2 months.
