Hearty Parmesan Baked Chicken

Hearty Parmesan Baked Chicken

Hearty Parmesan Baked Chicken

This baked parmesan chicken recipe is a simple and satisfying meal perfect for anyone following a ketogenic diet or simply looking for a delicious and healthy dinner option. It features juicy chicken breasts coated in a flavorful parmesan cheese crust, delivering a hearty and fulfilling experience. It's a comforting dish that's both easy to prepare and packed with flavor, making it a weeknight winner. This recipe highlights the principles of keto cooking: high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrates.

Why This Recipe Works

This particular recipe is a fantastic choice for a ketogenic lifestyle because it relies on healthy fats from parmesan cheese and olive oil while keeping carbohydrates to a minimum. The protein from the chicken is essential for muscle maintenance, and the simple seasonings enhance the natural flavors without adding unnecessary sugars or starches. Parmesan baked chicken breast becomes tender during baking which is a great option for meal prepping.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: 1/4 cup almond flour (for extra crispiness)

Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Cooking Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

    2. In a shallow bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and almond flour (if using). Mix well until a paste forms.

    3. If the chicken breasts are thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) to ensure even cooking.

    4. Dip each chicken breast into the parmesan cheese mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Press the mixture gently onto the chicken to help it adhere.

    5. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.

    6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the parmesan crust is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

    7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    8. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

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

      Pro Tip

      For an extra crispy crust, broil the chicken for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.

      Variation

      Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the parmesan mixture for a little kick.

      Servings & Cook Time

      Servings: 4

      Prep time: 10 minutes

      Cook time: 25-30 minutes

      Serving Suggestions

      Parmesan baked chicken pairs wonderfully with a variety of keto-friendly side dishes. Consider serving it with steamed broccoli, sauteed spinach, asparagus with lemon butter, or a fresh avocado salad. For a more substantial meal, serve it over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.

      To present the dish attractively, arrange the chicken breast on a plate alongside your chosen side dish. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the chicken and garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. The aroma and visual appeal will make this dish even more enjoyable.
