Miss your beloved Chicken Parmigiana? Smothered in a rich homemade tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, there’s no doubt you’ll be adding this low carb chicken parmesan recipe back into your keto diet! Air fryer method included!
LOW CARB CHICKEN PARMESAN
We are using our Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe to make one hell of a parma for those of us TRYING to stick to our diets, and possibly failing because the craving for ‘normal’ food is too real. If this speaks to you… YOU’RE WELCOME! Because sometimes you just want a golden, crispy coating on your chicken and when that craving hits, even this no-breading Easy Mozzarella Chicken recipe just doesn’t cut it! Normally, recipes for a low carb crust contain coconut flour, pork rinds or some kind of nut meal. I found the best tasting crumb for this low carb chicken parmesan recipe is a mixture of almond flour and parmesan cheese.
HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB CHICKEN PARMESAN
Golden cheesy crust, rich tomato sauce and melted cheese in the form of a low carb chicken parmesan, is the keto answer to your parma loving, gluten free prayers! Just like a classic chicken parma recipe, skinless and boneless chicken breasts are dipped in a flavourful egg wash for the ultimate taste explosion before being coated in a parmesan crumb mixture. This low carb chicken parmesan may have a few steps, but the end result is so worth it: With our low carb chicken parmesan, you have the option of using your favourite marinara sauce or cooking up our homemade tomato sauce.
TIPS
Since you’re cooking chicken breasts coated with parmesan cheese, you need to use a non-stick frying pan (or skillet). Please don’t use any other pan as the chicken may stick to it and ruin your dinner. To check if your low carb chicken parmesan is golden on the underside, give it a gentle push with a spatula after three minutes of cooking. If it moves or slides in the grease, use nonstick tongs to lift a corner of the breast to check. If golden, flip and cook until done all the way through.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH LOW CARB CHICKEN PARMESAN
Buttery Cauliflower Mash, zucchini noodles, Creamy Broccoli, Garlic Mushrooms, cauliflower rice, Sautéed Green Beans, steamed veggies or roasted veggies will pair perfectly with your low carb chicken parmesan.
AIR FRYER CHICKEN PARMESAN
You CAN totally air fry your low carb chicken parmesan!
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray crumbed chicken all over with olive oil spray. Place two chicken breasts in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 7 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts over. Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Air fry for a further 3-4 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and cheese has melted. Set aside and repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
