Grain-Free Chicken Parm

1. 1

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

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Press chicken into almond mixture until evenly coated.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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).

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

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