Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened marinara sauce
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices cloud bread
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing down firmly to ensure it sticks.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and evenly distribute the marinara sauce over each piece of chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the cloud bread slices.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing one piece of chicken on each of two slices of cloud bread, topping with a fresh basil leaf, and covering with the remaining cloud bread slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly Chicken Parmesan Sandwich!
