Grain-Free Chicken Parm Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Blend almonds in a blender or food processor to the consistency of bread crumbs. Transfer ground almonds to a shallow dish and add 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese salt pepper and Italian seasoning.

Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pound using a meat mallet until about 1-inch thick.

Press chicken into almond mixture until evenly coated.

Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken until a nice crust forms about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Heat pasta sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over cooked chicken and top with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Turn on oven's broiler. Broil chicken Parmesan until cheese is bubbling and golden about 3 minutes.
