    This easy baked keto chicken Parmesan can be ready in 30 minutes and makes a great family dinner. Chicken breasts are coated in a seasoned almond flour and parmesan mixture, then topped with a marinara sauce and mozzarella.

    Traditionally, chicken Parmesan is not low carb as the coating uses breadcrumb. It's simple enough to make the recipe to low carb by just changing the coating.

    How to make keto chicken parmesan

    The chicken breasts should not be too thick for the chicken to cook evenly. Chicken cutlets would be a great choice. If the chicken breasts are too thick, give them a quick pounding with a rolling pin to flatten them.

    First of all set up your dipping station. I use oat fiber to dip the chicken breast first as it acts like flour and helps the egg stick to the chicken breast.

    Once the chicken has baked for 20 minutes, removed from the oven.

    Spoon marina sauce over the chicken breasts. I use my homemade marinara sauce to ensure that there's no sugar in it.

    Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven to bake. You want the cheese to be melted and golden.

    Serve with fresh basil on top. The keto chicken parmesan can be enjoyed with a side salad or low carb noodles.

    Recipe Tips

    Ground pork rinds could replace the almond flour.

    Oat fiber can be omitted if you don't have it. Just dip the chicken in the egg, then the almond flour mixture.

    This dish freezes well. As with any frozen chicken dish, ensure that it defrosts thoroughly before reheating it.

      This chicken is very tasty, especially the coating - I licked up every bit of the crumbs on the plate!! I used fresh oregano/marjoram (not sure which is which anymore as they grow wild in the garden) I only marinated the chicken for about 2 hours and served them with pan-fried asparagus, such a lovely meal! Thank you for the innovative "breadcrumb" substitute, I will definitely try this recipe again with chicken nuggets. 🙂
