The Perfect Keto Chicken Parmesan!

  • Made in under 20 minutes.
  • An authentic feel even with no breading.
  • Everything made from scratch or easy store bought options.

How To Make Keto Chicken Parmesan

  1. First, season you chicken. You can use simply salt and pepper or use an Italian seasoning to help give the flavor that the panko crumbs normally bring.
  2. Sauté your chicken in a skillet. Just brown the chicken with some color. Don’t cook the chicken all the way through because you will add it into the sauce later.

  3. So, for making an authentic marinara sauce start with some minched garlic. Brown that a little then add in chicken stock. Bring to a boil then simmer.
  4. Next, add in a chunky tomato sauce. Without the chunks is fine, but the chunks just make it a little more hearty. Bring to boil then add chicken back in. Lower heat to simmer, then cook until thickened.
  5. Lastly, top with cheese. Place in oven on broil and watch closely. You simply want to brown the cheese not burn it.

Helpful Recipe Tips

  • Skip the homemade marina and buy a store bought jar. You can simply pour it in the pan, bring to a boil, then lower the heat until it thickens. Skipping the steps before that since the sauce is already seasoned and prepared.
  • You can use shredded mozzarella or get whole and slice it up.
  • Used fresh herbs over dried. This does make a difference. Anything with fresh ingredients is better especially that you’re making a keto chicken parmesan.

Macros

Below, the nutrition label is done via Cronometer using the homemade version. If you decide to use a store-bought sauce these numbers change. For a pound of chicken breast you should get 3 or 4 pieces. Your net carbs will come out around 8 net carbs for the dish. It’s actually less carbs depending on how much sauce you choose to eat.

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
