Gluten Free Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole

This Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole is a healthy twist on the classic southern dish that so many of us love! Instead of Ritz crackers, I top this casserole off with my homemade sage butter bread crumb topping. This makes this casserole gluten free which is AWESOME! This is my favorite casserole ever so that has got to tell you something right?! It’s super macro friendly and packed with protein! Be sure to try my Chicken & Rice Enchilada Casserole as well.

Brown Sage Butter Topping

Ingredients

• 1 tsp dry sage
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup Parmesan

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter for the topping over medium heat. Continue to cook (stirring occasionally) until browned & bubbly.
2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining brown butter topping ingredients. Add into the saucepan with the browned butter. Coat your “breadcrumb” mixture in the brown butter. Cook for a few more minutes & turn off the heat.

How To Store Leftovers

You can store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Top reheat, just pop a serving in the microwave for a minute or so! These reheat so well and honestly taste even better the next day.
