Keto-Friendly Chicken Parmesan

Submitted by whatsachef

"This is a simple, frugal way to make a great meal that looks like you spent a lot of time on it!! I serve this with a side of pasta but feel free to omit that. Check it out! I always end up adding more sauce, but not everyone is a sauce freak like my family is!"

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, any flavor (I love marinara or plain old traditional!)
• 1 1⁄2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or use fresh if you prefer)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, . (or whatever you have on hand(canola always works well)

directions

1. Brush thawed chicken breasts with olive oil. *Note: use tenderloins or half the chicken breast if they are too large.
2. Combine all seasonings, and sprinkle chicken breasts on both sides.
3. Brown chicken breasts over the stove, turning once. Cook approximately 10 minutes on med-hi heat on each side. For thinner breasts, reduce time by 5 minutes.
4. Add spaghetti sauce to the pan, covering the chicken.
5. Let sauce simmer on med-low heat for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked, if not already.
6. Top chicken pieces with mozzarella cheese and cover. Cook for 5-8 minutes more until cheese is melted.
7. Serve with pasta or caesar salad!

What a nice simple, easy to make chicken parm. I loved that it was not breaded and thought that the seasoning mix was very good.Thanks for sharing this nice recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2014.

Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I doubled the recipe. We all enjoyed this and there wasn't any left.

Very easy and I also like the "no breading", but Chicken Parmesan should have some parmesan :) I added some after dishing it up. The seasonings were perfect, though. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.

This was absolutely fabulous!!! Kudos on not having breadcrumbs in the recipe- This just didn't need them. Seasonings were very nice too, very flavorful. Very easy to make as well, and we served this with Recipe #303124. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue

Wow! We all loved it. So much easier than pounding, dipping, breading the chicken and the flavor was great. I made one tiny change...instead of using shredded mozzarella I bought a fresh mozzarella ball which I sliced and layered on the chicken.Served it with recipe#106044. Thanks!
