How To Make Keto Chicken Parmesan
Made keto-friendly for a healthier dish, this chicken parmesan recipe tops perfectly fried chicken breast with tomato sauce and cheese.
Ingredients
- 8 oz chicken breast, skinless, boneless
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1½ oz pork rinds, crushed
- 1 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup tomato sauce, jarred, such as Rao's®
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp ghee, (clarified butter)
Instructions
-
Set oven rack about 6-inch from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
-
Slice chicken breast through the middle horizontally from 1 side to within ½-inch of the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound chicken flat until about ½-inch thick.
- Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.
- Combine crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning in bowl; transfer breading to a plate.
- Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat completely. Press chicken into breading; thickly coat both sides.
-
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; add ghee. Place chicken in the pan; cook for about 3 minutes per side until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F. Be careful to keep breading in place.
- Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Cover with tomato sauce; top with mozzarella cheese.
-
Broil for about 2 minutes until cheese is bubbling and barely browned.
-
Serve and enjoy!
