Chicken Parmesan

Each year my husband requests my gluten-free Chicken Parmesan recipe for his birthday. It’s his all time favorite dinner recipe!

My secret to a healthy twist on classic Chicken Parmesan is to coat the chicken breasts with almond flour, in place of wheat flour. Now, this healthy recipe can be a staple in every gluten-free family’s dinner rotation, it is in ours!

My older son asks to have this parmesan chicken dish every week; for some reason (probably differentiation) my younger son complains about it, and then inevitably devours it. Enjoy.

  10. Serve

Even though we are on different diets (my older son and I have celiac disease and my husband and younger son have no food restrictions at all), in our home we partake in one family meal. This way, we come together energetically –we share the same space, breathe the same air, and eat the same food. Plus, it’s way easier for me to make one meal!

Here are some of my other healthy dinner recipes:

  1. I made this for dinner last night. Yum. And my husband loved it too and my 5 year old ate it. We left out the eggs and it turned out just fine. Also substituted the mozzarella with lactose free cheddar for my son, and added parmesan on top.

    I did all the chicken at one time in a big skillet so not to burn the almond flour.

    Thanks for the recipe!

  3. Looks and sounds delicious, but there’s no parmesan in it! Maybe recipe states mozzarella instead by mistake… or perhaps it is actually Chicken Mozzarella. Either way, I’ll give it a go – I’m sure it’ll be v tasty!

  4. Hi Elena your recipes sound great I have a son who has a severe allergy to almonds so what can I use instead of almond flour and or almond meal depending on recipe

  7. ^I should say that the same thing would happen with breadcrumbs, but I wouldn’t feel like I was wasting a valuable commodity… ;-)

  8. I’m just wondering if anyone else had the issue I had with making this recipe…I cooked the chicken a couple of pieces at a time, and some of the almond flour ended up collecting in the fry pan and eventually burned, then attached itself to the other piece of chicken. I’m sure it still tastes good…just wondering if, short of changing out the butter each time new pieces go in, there’s anything that can be done…

    • You really need to use a non-stick pan for this recipe. Otherwise the breading will stick to the pan or other chicken pieces. Also, I would recommend adding some salt to the tomato sauce to brighten the flavor.
