Description
A deliciously easy Keto Chicken Parmesan recipe that delivers layers of melted mozzarella, rich marinara, and crispy chicken while keeping carb counts low.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds small chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for seasoning)
- 2 cups almond flour (used for coating)
- 3 large eggs (whisked)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for seasoning)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (for seasoning)
- 2 tablespoons oil (for frying, such as olive or avocado oil)
- 2 cups keto marinara sauce (sugar-free or low-carb)
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (freshly sliced)
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch and season each breast with salt.
- Coat the chicken lightly with almond flour.
- Whisk the eggs until fluffy in a bowl.
- In another bowl, mix the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and remaining almond flour.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off before coating in the parmesan-almond flour mixture.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry chicken for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the fried chicken on the baking sheet and top each piece with marinara sauce, mozzarella slices, and grated parmesan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, ensure even thickness of the chicken and use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor.
