Enjoy this Keto Chicken Parmesan, Amelia and Jacob’s perfected project. We use almond flour for a crispy crust, keeping this comfort classic satisfyingly low-carb. It is quick enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (for coating)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (or preferred high-heat oil)
  • 1/2 cup Low-Carb Marinara Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. If the chicken breasts are thick, pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
  3. In one shallow dish, whisk the egg and water together.
  4. In a second shallow dish, combine the almond flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Dip each chicken piece first into the egg wash, letting excess drip off.
  6. Dredge the chicken thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere the coating.
  7. Heat the avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Sear the crusted chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or move chicken to the prepared baking sheet).
  10. Top each piece with marinara sauce and then the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can bake the chicken plain for 5 minutes before adding sauce and cheese.
  • Jacob suggests using fresh mozzarella if available for the best melt.
  • Taste your low-carb marinara first; some brands require added seasoning.
