Instructions

Low-Carb Chicken Parmesan

1
Prepare the Chicken:
- If the chicken breasts are thick, pound them to an even thickness (about ½ inch thick) for even cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
2
Make the Breading Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.
3
Bread the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken breast into some flour, then in the beaten egg, coating both sides.
- Then, dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks well.
4
Pan-Sear the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the breaded chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Turn off the heat.
5
Add Marinara & Cheese:
- Spoon sugar-free marinara sauce over each piece of chicken.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
6
Bake or Broil until Bubbly:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- (If you want a crispy, golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.)
7
Serve & Enjoy!
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
- Pair with zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or a fresh salad for a perfect low-carb meal.
