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°.

Servings: 6 servings

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!

    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.

    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.
