Keto Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour (for breading)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half horizontally to make them thinner.
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the Breading:
   • In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian herbs.
   • In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
3. Bread the Chicken:
   • Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
   • Coat the chicken with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
4. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.
5. Assemble the Chicken Parmesan:
   • Place the cooked chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
   • Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each chicken breast.
   • Top each with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake:
   • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot!
