Keto Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 cup low-carb marinara sauce

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, beat the eggs.

Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat them with the almond flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to adhere.

In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. As an added note, you can use homemade Italian Pasta sauce instead of Marinara Sauce for your Parmesan Chicken. 

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve hot.
