Ingredients
- Chicken Breast – Lean chicken breast serves as a great protein source while maintaining moisture during cooking
- Fresh Garlic – Fresh garlic is essential for imparting that characteristic flavor
- Aged Parmesan Cheese – Provides depth through its nutty flavor and crispy texture when baked
- Almond Flour – Low-carb alternative to breadcrumbs that contributes to a crunchy exterior
- Olive Oil – Prevents sticking and promotes even browning; adds healthy fats
- Dried Italian Herbs – Enhance flavor complexity without adding carbohydrates
- Lemon Juice – Adds acidity that brightens flavors and balances richness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and dried herbs.
- Dip each chicken breast into olive oil before dredging it in the almond flour mixture.
- Place coated chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Transfer to preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
Storage: Allow the Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the chicken in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chicken on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with foil to prevent drying out. Heat for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, but this may affect the crispiness.
Serving: Serve the Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Drizzle with a little extra lemon juice for added brightness, or pair it with a low-carb dipping sauce for extra flavor.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra crispy crust, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Additionally, make sure to use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
