What is Parmesan Chicken?
Parmesan Chicken is typically a quick and easy recipe to make for dinner. It’s usually chicken cutlets that are breaded in parmesan, egg, and bread crumbs, then fried until crispy.
But this low carb chicken parmesan steps it up using healthier alternatives and is BAKED instead of fried! It’s the best of both worlds.
How Do You Make Chicken Parmesan?

- CUT the chicken in half and coat with egg.
- MIX the parmesan cheese coating ingredients.
- DIP each piece of chicken into cheese mixture.

Tips for Success!
- Prepare the whisked egg and the parmesan mixture in shallow dishes for easy dipping when assembling your chicken parmesan.
- Use parchment paper or foil to line your baking pan for easy clean up!
- You will want to bake only until the chicken reaches 165°F. Take care not to overcook the chicken so it stays nice and juicy!
- Use store bought low carb pasta sauce or you can make your own!

This is pretty similar to the way I make my alfredo, and it’s probably my favorite dinner that I have ever posted! I haven’t done it without scraping the cooked squash though–I will definitely have to give it a try!
