A delightful twist on the classic Italian chicken parmesan that’s crispy, healthy, and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 2 slices keto or low-carb bread
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 ⅓ cups low-carb pasta sauce (plus extra for serving)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Tear the keto bread into small pieces and pulse them in a food processor until they form fine breadcrumbs.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg until it’s well beaten.
  4. In another shallow dish, mix the homemade breadcrumbs with half of the grated Parmesan cheese and the Italian seasoning.
  5. Lightly season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
  6. Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s well-covered on all sides.
  7. Place the coated chicken cutlets on a greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes.
  9. After 10 minutes, carefully spoon about ⅓ cup of low-carb pasta sauce onto each piece of chicken, add a generous ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  10. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 5–6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Optional: Broil for about 1 minute for a golden, bubbly cheese topping, watching closely to prevent burning.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired, and serve immediately with extra warm pasta sauce on the side.

Notes

For an extra crunch, consider air frying the chicken cutlets instead. You can make the breadcrumb mixture ahead of time for quick dinners.
