Description
A deliciously crispy and low-carb Chicken Parmesan, perfect for cozy dinners or gatherings, wrapped in rich marinara and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free if desired)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
- Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each breast, and then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese generously.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve hot with a side salad or vegetable medley.
Notes
You can prepare the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
