What’s in Keto Chicken Parmesan?

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Low carb marinara sauce
  • Almond flour
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Pork rinds
  • Grated parmesan cheese
  • Garlic salt
  • Dried parsley
  • Dried basil
  • Dried Oregano
  • Ground pepper
  • Egg

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

How to Make Keto Chicken Parmesan

Preheat oven to 400F.

Grind your pork rinds in a food processor or mini chopper.  Remove and set aside.  Add cubes of parmesan cheese and grind till you get a granular consistency, like the pork rinds.

Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix using a hand whisk or fork, until well combined.

Set up your breading station with the chicken, beaten eggs and breading mixture.  Dip each piece of chicken into the egg and then into the breading mixture.

Add some extra virgin olive oil to a skillet and lightly fry the chicken on medium heat for just a few minutes on each side (will continue cooking in the oven).

Brush some olive oil on the bottom of a ceramic or glass baking casserole. Add ¼ cup or so of the marinara sauce to coat the bottom, then add the chicken.

Top each piece of the chicken with the remaining Keto marinara sauce and the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 375F, then increase the temperature to 450F and cook 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly and serve with your favorite Keto-friendly vegetable. Or serve over Palmini “linguine” Low Carb pasta substitute that’s made from hearts of palm!

Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for a few days to a few days.

This Keto Chicken Parmesan is absolutely perfect for meal prep. I portioned it out in these glass containers, with Palmini Noodles and extra Low Carb Marinara sauce!

What are the Carbs in Marinara?

We all know that authentic Italian cooks add a dash of this and a dash of that to their marinara sauce. A lot of times those dashes may be sugar or spices that have ingredients not recommended for Keto or low carb diets.

By making a few healthy substitutions, the marinara used in this Keto Chicken Parmesan only has 4 net carbs per ¼ cup serving.

Tips for the Best Keto Chicken Parmesan

  • If you need to save a little time, you can use pork panko instead of grinding whole pork rinds.
  • To reheat this Keto chicken parmesan, tent it with foil and heat on 350F until warm.
  • If you don’t have chicken breasts, you can use chicken tenders. Just make sure you adjust your cooking time.
  • Nothing beats the flavor of freshly grated parmesan, but if you’re in pinch for time, you can use the kind that is already grated. Just make sure you read to labels to make sure they do not include anti-caking ingredients.
