Easy, Keto Low-Carb Chicken Parmesan

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 thinner chicken breasts. Place the chicken breasts on a hard surface and pound them to completely flatten.

Step 3

Combine the almond meal, parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken breasts. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Place the egg in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken.

Step 5

Dip the chicken in the egg and then the almond meal mixture.

Step 6

Place the chicken on the parchment paper and repeat for the remaining chicken. Your hands will get sticky. You may want to keep a moist towel nearby and wipe your hands after breading each.

Step 7

Spray the top of each breast with cooking oil.  Bake for 15 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to test if the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees.

Step 8

Remove from oven, spoon the marinara sauce over each piece of chicken and top each with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Bake for 5-8 more minutes or until cheese is melted

Step 10

Allow the chicken to cool before serving.
