A low-carb chicken dish with a cheesy, golden crust, perfect for weeknight dinners or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb chicken cutlets
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Parmesan (divided)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the chicken breasts lengthwise into cutlets.
  2. In a low bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with garlic salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Place the shredded Parmesan in another shallow bowl.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Using tongs, dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are coated, then dredge them into the Parmesan.
  6. Cook two cutlets in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan before cooking the second batch of cutlets.
  8. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly in a baking dish.
  9. Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets into the sauce, followed by the remaining Parmesan-crusted chicken.
  10. Cover the chicken with the rest of the marinara sauce, then top each piece with more Parmesan and sprinkle with mozzarella.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

Notes

Try pairing it with zoodles for a low-carb pasta alternative or a side salad for a complete meal.
