Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2
Prepare the Coating

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

3
Coat the Chicken

Dip each chicken breasts into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere the coating to the chicken.

4
Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

5
Add Sauce and Cheese

Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

6
Bake

Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

7
Serve

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve the Keto Chicken Parmesan hot, paired with a side salad or zucchini noodles.
