Low-Carb Chicken Parmesan

This Low-Carb Chicken Parmesan reinvents classic comfort food by swapping traditional breadcrumbs for a savory, golden grated Parmesan crust. Chicken breasts are dredged in egg, coated with Parmesan, baked until tender, and finished with warm marinara sauce and melted gooey mozzarella. Delivering an impressive 45 grams of protein and just 6 grams of carbohydrates per serving, it provides all the rich, comforting flavors of an Italian restaurant favorite in a healthy, gluten-free weeknight dinner.
