How to Store Keto Chicken Parmesan

Tips to Make Keto Chicken Parmesan

• Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
• For extra crunch, double dip the chicken in the egg and then the almond flour mixture.
• Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add spices to the coating mixture for extra flavor.

Variation

If you want to switch things up, try adding some chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes into the marinara sauce. You can also use grated mozzarella or provolone cheese for a different taste.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Using regular flour will increase the carb count, which is not ideal for a keto diet. Almond flour is a great low-carb alternative.

2. How do I know when the chicken is cooked through?
You can use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

3. Can I freeze Keto Chicken Parmesan?
Yes, you can freeze the chicken after cooking. Just make sure to allow it to cool, then wrap it tightly before placing it in the freezer. It will last for up to three months.
