This keto chicken parmesan features crispy breaded chicken topped with rich marinara, melted mozzarella, and parmesan cheese for a comforting low-carb dinner. Serve it over shirataki noodles for a satisfying keto-friendly meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (4 total)
  • 1 batch Nut Free Keto Breading Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups marinara sauce
  • 12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Shirataki noodles, for serving
  • Crushed red pepper, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice each piece of chicken in half lengthwise to make two thin chicken breasts out of each piece.
  2. Add the eggs to a shallow bowl and whisk well.
  3. Prepare the keto breading mixture in a separate shallow bowl.
  4. Coat each piece of chicken in the egg wash, then liberally coat with the breading mixture.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Once the oil is hot, cook the breaded chicken 3 to 4 pieces at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, flipping only once, until deep golden brown and crispy.
  7. While the chicken cooks, heat the marinara sauce.
  8. Preheat the oven to broil and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the cooked chicken on the baking sheet and top each piece with marinara sauce, leaving the edges uncovered to maintain crispiness.
  9. Top the chicken with sliced mozzarella and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  10. Garnish with chopped basil and serve with shirataki noodles, extra marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and melting texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet while frying to ensure crispy breading.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Shirataki noodles pair well for a low-carb serving option.
