Almond flour and Parmesan cheese combine to create the perfect coating for this keto Chicken Parmesan recipe. Topped with sugar-free Pasta Sauce and melted mozzarella, this entree pairs well with sauteed vegetables or Zucchini Noodles. Try this recipe with chicken thighs for added fat content.

Ingredients

3 large boneless chicken breast, halved
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil
6 tbsp sugar-free Pasta Sauce, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound the chicken and flatten until all pieces are about ½ inch thick.
In a medium bowl, mix ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, the almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg.
Set up a “breading” station: Line up the egg wash, then the Parmesan coating. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, then thoroughly coat in the “breading”. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil for about 2 minutes. Add the “breaded” chicken. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned on each side.
Remove from the skillet and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Top with 1 tablespoon of Pasta Sauce and divide the 1 cup of mozzarella cheese among the chicken. Sprinkle each with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is thoroughly melted.
