CHICKEN PARMESAN FINGERS

These Chicken Parmesan Fingers are a delicious, keto-friendly take on a classic comfort food. They're perfect as an appetizer, a snack, or even a light meal. Packed with flavor and easy to make, this recipe delivers all the cheesy, savory goodness of chicken parmesan without the carbs. Enjoy a guilt-free indulgence that satisfies your cravings while staying true to your ketogenic lifestyle.

What Makes These Chicken Parmesan Fingers Keto-Friendly?

Traditional chicken parmesan is usually breaded with flour or breadcrumbs, making it high in carbohydrates. This recipe swaps those ingredients for almond flour and parmesan cheese, creating a crispy, flavorful coating that keeps the carb count low. The result is a delectable dish that perfectly fits into a ketogenic diet. These low-carb chicken parmesan fingers are a great way to enjoy a beloved flavor profile without sacrificing your dietary goals.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into finger-sized strips

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup marinara sauce, sugar-free

Cooking Instructions

Preparing the Chicken

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the chicken parmesan fingers from sticking.

Creating the Coating

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. This mixture will form the crispy, flavorful crust for your chicken parmesan fingers.

Breading the Chicken

In a separate shallow dish, whisk the eggs until smooth. Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the almond flour and parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating adheres well. Arrange the breaded chicken parmesan fingers on the prepared baking sheet.

Baking the Chicken Parmesan Fingers

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken fingers. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken fingers halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

Serving

Remove the chicken parmesan fingers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve immediately with sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping.

Enjoy a healthier, happier life with the simple goodness of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Variations

Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs in the breading mixture. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, use a blend of parmesan and mozzarella cheese in the coating.
