Keto Chicken Parmesan
Report
Keto chicken parmesan elevates the humble chicken breast into a delicacy.
Share:
Ingredients
- olive oil spray form
- 4 chicken breast small, 6-7 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup almond meal
- ½ cup parmesan grated
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- 4 lices provolone cheese 1 ounce each
- 2 tablespoons basil or parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fit it with a wire rack. Spray the rack with oil.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry. Season them on both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a shallow bowl or a Pyrex baking dish, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water.
- In another shallow bowl, mix together the almond meal and parmesan.
- Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then dredge it in the almond meal mixture. To avoid a sticky mess, use one hand for the egg mixture and one hand for the almond meal mixture.
- Transfer the coated chicken breasts to the prepared wire rack. Spray their tops with olive oil. Bake them for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven but keep the oven on. Top each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce and one slice of provolone.
- Return the chicken breasts to the oven for 5 more minutes, until they are cooked through, their internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer the chicken to plates, top it with chopped basil or parsley, and serve.
Notes
- If your chicken breasts are larger, you'll need to bake them for 20-25 minutes (their internal temperature should reach 165°F). If that's the case, loosely cover them with foil after the first 15 minutes to protect them from burning.
- You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them on a rack in a 350°F oven until heated through. Reheating in the oven is better than using the microwave because it helps re-crisp the almond meal.
