Low carb chicken parmesean

I made an outstanding home made low carb chicken parmesean tonight for dinner. My husband loved it and my pouch is very happy now!

I used almond flour/meal instead of flour and bread crumbs .

Here is the recipe:

1 large chicken breast (I love smart chicken brand) - boneless, skinless

1 egg

1/4 c milk or half and half

1cup almond meal

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesean cheese - all I had was Pecorino Romano and it was excellent!

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

Fresh mozerella - chopped

Marinara sauce - I cook this by sautéing onions and fresh mushrooms and then adding my favorite jarred marinara sauce

I preheated the oven to 375.

I sliced the chicken breast to make a thinner filet using a sharp knife. This made two large chicken filets. Set up a breading station. Place 1/4 cup almond meal in one dish, 1 egg plus 1/4 cup milk whisked with a touch salt and pepper. In the last dish add 1 cup of almond meal plus the parmesean cheese. Mix well.

Place a shallow layer of olive oil in your frying pan and turn heat to med/high.

Place chicken breast first in plain almond flour, then dip both sides in egg mixture, then roll in almond flour/parm mixture until well coated. Repeat with 2nd slice of chicken.

When oil is hot but not smoking add both chicken breasts to pan and brown. You will finish this dish in the oven so you are just looking to brown your crust. Remove chicken from pan and place in baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce around the sides and a little on the top of each breast but don't cover them completely. Some of the crust should be peeking out.

Sprinkle with fresh mozerella and cover with foil. Place in 375 oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil and let bake another 7 to 10 minutes to brown cheese.

Do not over bake your chicken. Adjust the times accordingly. Mine was very juicy, tender and delicious!

Yum! Eat up! I was able to eat about 1/3 of one slice with some lovely green Beans with bacon and onion as my side. Very nice Italian dinner.< /p>
