Easy Low Carb Chicken Parmesan
When you think of making chicken parmesan for dinner, does it seem too time consuming for a busy weeknight?
Having to dip the chicken in eggs, then breading, then eggs, then brown it, then bake it. It’s often too overwhelming even on a weekend!
Now you can enjoy a delicious low carb chicken parmesan even on a busy weeknight! This recipe makes it quicker, easier and still just as delicious as if you had baked it!
This Easy Low Carb Skillet Chicken Parmesan is an exclusive recipe from my cookbook, Naturally Keto.
One Pan Meals
One pan meals are a mother’s dream! A whole lot less dishes to clean for the family makes the thought of preparing dinner a lot less stressful. Everyone loves it so much, they want it at least once a week!
Low Carb Keto Nut Free Breading
Finding a Low Carb Keto Breading to coat any protein can be a challenge, especially for those who have tree nut allergies. Often a nut flour like almond is used. My youngest has a tree nut and peanut allergy so i have to get creative when it comes to making low carb keto and nut free recipes.
My keto breading recipe is in my cookbook on page 56 if you have it. I combine just a few simple ingredients that work to make a perfect breading to fry or brown your meats or fish with.
This recipe will work using crushed pork rinds as a replacement for my keto breading recipe. I like this brand for pork rind panko.

Keto Skillet Chicken Parmesan
Keto Skillet Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves about 2 pounds
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup keto breading (page 56 Naturally Keto Cookbook) or use crushed pork rinds
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp avocado oil divided
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a level work surface. Firmly pound each breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Set aside.
- Place the eggs, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
- In a second shallow bowl, combine the breading (or crushed pork rinds) and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- In a very large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- One at a time, dip four of the chicken breasts in the egg mixture and then in the breading mixture. Once they are fully coated, place them in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet and repeat process with the remaining four chicken breasts. Remove cooked chicken to the same plate.
- Reduce the heat to low. Deglaze the skillet with the marinara sauce, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan. Return all of the chicken to the skillet, cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast, registers 165 degrees F. Remove from the heat.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle equal portions of the mozzarella cheese over each breast. Cover to let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley and enjoy!

Loving this recipe. Making it tonight for dinner. I’ve got a head start by pounding, breading & frying the chicken ahead of time so when hubby comes home I’ll start the sauce, add chicken and motozerella! I’ve even had just the fried chicken for a quick lunch!! Easy peasy!! BTW I used my BIG electric fryer since I had quite a bit of chicken. I’ll be great leftover too. Thanks so much Brenda Happy Easter
My daughter and i have made this today and loved it! My husband enjoyed too!!!
