Chicken Parmesan (Dairy-Free)
Letting the breaded chicken rest on a rack for 10 minutes before frying helps the coating set, so it doesn't slide off the second it hits the oil.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce (check label GF, no added sugar)
- dairy-free mozzarella-style shreds (melting variety)
Method
- 1
Mix almond flour, nutritional yeast, and oregano together.
- 2
Dredge chicken in rice flour, then egg, then the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
- 3
Place the breaded chicken on a rack and let rest 10 minutes before cooking — this rest lets the coating set and bond to the chicken, so it doesn't slide off the moment it hits the hot oil.
- 4
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- 5
Top each piece with marinara sauce and dairy-free mozzarella, then broil 2-3 minutes until melted and bubbly.
