Keto Chicken Parmigiana Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Thighs, approximately 1lb/450g total
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon of Heavy Cream
- 1 tablespoon of Water
- ¾ cup of Parmesan Cheese, powdered
- ¼ cup of Unflavored Protein Powder
- 2 teaspoons of Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon of White Pepper, ground
- 3 tablespoons of Lard, Tallow or Olive Oil can also be used
- ½ cup of Keto Marinara Sauce
- 1 cup of Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
How to Make Keto Chicken Parmigiana
- Preheat your oven to 190C/375F.
- Use a meat mallet or tenderizer to pound the chicken thighs into an even thickness.
- In a bowl, add the egg, heavy cream, and water and whisk well.
- In a second bowl, add the parmesan, protein power, oregano, garlic power, and white pepper. Mix well and transfer into a pan or plate with a flat base (for easier breading).
- Dip a chicken thigh into the egg mixture, allow any excess to drip off, then dip into the parmesan breading. Press the breading onto both sides, repeat with the other thigh fillets.
- Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the lard.
- Fry the breaded chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto each one and top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve hot with a side of Keto Garlic Green Beans, or Cauliflower Mash and enjoy!
