This is the weeknight dinner everyone will love, Cheeseless Chicken Pharm quick, easy and delicious.
DAY 3 woop woop!! And what better way to get through this fog than with one of my favorite dishes, remixed to be grain-free & dairy-free?? Cheeseless Chicken Parm it is! My mom made Chicken Parmesan all the time when we were kids and it has always been such a fabulously comforting dish to me. The thick breading, mozzarella, parmesan and luscious marinara that wrap around the chicken breasts just fill your mouth with so much JOY!! But as I cut things out of my diet I realized the flavors I loved about the dish were mostly the sweet marinara, basil and perfectly cooked chicken. I was never a huge lover of processed cheeses that get all stringy anyways! So this chicken still has a fabulous breading but it is made of a mixture of almond flour, coconut flour and spices, instead of those super processed bread crumbs you can buy. Then the key is good marinara! I love the Kirkland Organic Marinara from Costco. I buy it in packs of 3 and it has super clean ingredients.
So I HIGHLY recommend you try this out and let me know how it goes! I am 95% sure everyone in your fam will love it and have no idea its uber healthy. First up, breading & browning in the pan! After pouring the marinara on top, you just bake for 20 minutes at 350°.

The best thing about this recipe is its adaptability. Use what you have on hand and add to it if you would like.
Feel free to swap the flours for whole wheat or regular flour. Easily add cheese to the top of the chicken before you bake it.

Cheeseless Chicken Parm
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 25 oz. jar marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If chicken breasts are large, place them in a large ziplock bag and pound them until they have even thickness.
- Then place them on a plate and sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper. In a large shallow bowl or large plate, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, basil, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt & ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- On another large plate, crack 2 eggs and stir them well. Place a large skillet over high heat and add olive oil to the pan.
- Bread the chicken breasts by dipping each in the egg mixture and toss to coat, then into the almond flour blend, tossing to coat and shaking off any excess.
- Once all the chicken is coated, add them to the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes on each side, just until slightly browned.
- In a 13 x 9 inch pyrex dish, add half of the jar of marinara sauce, then place chicken on top and coat them with the rest of the sauce.
- Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
Have made this multiple times and it always turns out perfect! Making it again tonight as part of our whole30, thanks for a great recipe!
One of my favorites! Enjoy!!
I made this a while back but I wanted To tell you how much we enjoyed it!!
I will Make this again soon!
Great!!
Absolutely delicious recipe. So flavorful! And INCREDIBLY easy! Love making a clean meal in a short period of time. This is my fourth time of what will probably be 1 million times making it!
So glad! It really is a timeless winner!
I’ve made this on repeat. It is so delicious! I usually put the chicken on top of a bed of spaghetti squash sprinkled with salt pepper and nutritional yeast. Very filling and tastes so good.
Perfect combo!!
This recipe was great! I added hemp seeds to my breading and spaghetti squash to the sauce when I baked it. But if you do that cook it for 10 extra minutes to ensure the chicken is all the way done.
That’s great!
I had everything already in my pantry for this recipe when I saw it on your Instagram stories! It was fantastic!! We loved it!!
Love when that happens!
Long time follower, first time to comment. WHOA!!! This was so dang good!!!! Thank you for sharing this fun way to dress up a plain chicken breast. And very easy to throw together for a weeknight meal!

Yum, this was so good with speghetti squash. Just like Kelsey suggests- good marinara is key. I will be making this often.
