A delightful low-carb twist on the traditional Chicken Parmesan, featuring a crispy almond flour and Parmesan crust topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
