Chicken Parmigiana (Gluten-free & Low-Carb)

Chicken Parmigiana is an Italian classic that usually involved breading chicken breasts with bread crumbs, frying that up and then baking the whole dish with tomato sauce and cheese. As delectable as this dish sounds, it unfortunately, is not low-carb and gluten-free friendly.

Luckily, Emily and I were craving this last night and so I just took to the kitchen. The final product turned out absolutely delicious – not sure if that was because I hadn’t eaten all day or if it was amazing but regardless, here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 Tbsp Flavor God Garlic Lovers
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
  • 4 Chicken Thighs
  • 2Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Aluminium foil
  • 1/2 cup Tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated

Method:

In a bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix together the Flavor God and Parmesan. For each chicken thigh, first coat in egg and then coat in Flavor God/Parmesan mixture. Place all chicken thighs on aluminium foil covered baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake the chicken in preheated oven at 350F for 35 minutes. In a 8×8 baking dish, place the chicken thighs and cover with the tomato sauce and then the cheese. Broil the cheese on the top rack of the oven for 5-7minutes or until golden brown.
