Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Food Processor
  • Skillet
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Frying Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 6 small Chicken breasts 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Almond flour
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons Oil to fry
  • 2 cups Keto marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups Freshly sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Pound the chicken breast until ΒΌ inch in thickness.
  • Sprinkle each breast of chicken with salt and lightly coat both sides of the chicken with the almond flour until covered.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • In a separate bowl, add the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining almond flour that was leftover after coating the chicken.
  • Dip the chicken breast pieces in the eggs until coated, letting excess drip off, followed by the parmesan/almond flour mixture.
  • Repeat the process until all the chicken is coated.
  • Place oil in a non-stick pan and place over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the chicken and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden on one side.
  • Flip and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the fried chicken breast fillets to a plate covered in some paper towel, to soak up any oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the crumbed chicken onto the baking sheet.
  • Top with enough marinara sauce to cover the top, followed by 2-3 slices of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.
  • Remove the chicken parmesan from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To oven bake the chicken: Place the crumbed chicken on a baking tray and bake at 180C/350F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • To air fry the chicken: Easily air fry the breaded chicken by placing it in the air fryer basket and cooking at 200C/400F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
  • TO FREEZE: Place individual portions of the chicken parmesan in a shallow container and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • TO REHEAT: Either reheat in the oven or the air fryer. You can microwave it, but you risk the chicken coating being slightly soggy.
