Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 6 small chicken breasts about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups almond flour divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying

Toppings

  • 2 cups keto marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt.
  • Lightly coat each chicken breast with almond flour.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs. In a separate bowl, mix remaining almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the egg, letting excess drip off, then coat in the Parmesan almond flour mixture.
  • Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place chicken on the baking sheet. Top each piece with marinara sauce, mozzarella slices, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 10–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  • Serve immediately.
