When I weighed 330 pounds, Italian food was the first thing I had to cut out. I never imagined I could recreate one of my favorite Italian dishes to fit my Keto/Primal lifestyle! This chicken comes out perfectly crispy with incredible flavor, and even non-Keto eaters love it.

About Chicken Parmesan

Low-Carb Chicken Parmesan is a perfect keto-friendly take on a classic favorite, offering great flavor without the carbs. Instead of breadcrumbs, the chicken is coated in almond flour or crushed pork rinds, providing a crispy texture while staying keto-compliant.

It’s topped with a rich, sugar-free marinara sauce melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then baked until golden. This dish brings all the comforting, savory goodness of traditional Chicken Parmesan but with a low-carb twist.

This version of Chicken Parmesan is not only satisfying but also fits seamlessly into a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle. The combination of juicy chicken, tangy marinara, and cheesy goodness makes it a flavorful and filling meal without spiking blood sugar levels.

Plus, it’s easy to prepare, making it a great option for weeknight dinners or meal prep. Serve it with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete keto-friendly meal that everyone will enjoy.
