Keto Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 cup low-carb marinara sauce

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Olive oil for frying

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs

Dip each chicken breast into the eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side.

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Tip: You can use a homemade Italian-style tomato sauce instead of store-bought marinara to better control carbs and sodium.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.
