# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes fancy enough to serve guests but comes together in under an hour with minimal fuss.
  • One dish, no stuffing chicken breasts, and the kind of comfort that makes you forget you're eating keto.
  • Leftovers actually taste better the next day when the flavors settle together.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening that cream cheese—cold cream cheese will create frustrating lumps no matter how hard you whisk, and I learned this the hard way before my first dinner party.
  • The almond flour topping stays crispier if you wait until the very last moment to sprinkle it on, so don't assemble it more than a few minutes before baking.
03 -
  • Use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and you'll cut your hands-on time in half while the flavor stays just as good.
  • If your casserole dish is shallow, reduce the baking time to 20 minutes and check it early, because heat distribution changes and you don't want it to dry out.
