# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's basically the comfort of a restaurant cordon bleu without needing three pans and culinary school.
  • Prep time is laughably short, but the payoff tastes like you've been simmering something all day.
  • Your family won't realize they're eating keto because they're too busy asking for seconds.
02 -
  • Don't overmix the sauce or it can get weird; gentle whisking keeps the cream smooth and glossy instead of separated.
  • If your chicken is still warm when you mix everything, it's fine—the oven will finish the job and everything melds together beautifully.
  • A casserole that looks done might not be done; wait for that gentle bubble at the edges as your real indicator.
03 -
  • If you want a crispier almond flour top without overbaking the inside, broil for the last 2–3 minutes and watch it like a hawk so it doesn't burn.
  • Leftover casserole reheats beautifully in a 325°F oven for about 15 minutes, and honestly sometimes tastes even better the next day once everything has settled.
