A delicious low-carb twist on the classic Italian Chicken Parmesan, featuring a crispy almond flour coating and gooey mozzarella, perfect for satisfying cravings while maintaining dietary goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl until everything is well combined.
  3. Beat the egg in a separate shallow bowl until it becomes frothy.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coverage.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and generously smother each breast with sugar-free marinara sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Return the dish to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve hot!

Notes

For extra crunch, you can mix in some crushed pork rinds with the almond flour mixture. Make sure to reheat leftovers in the oven for best results.
