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. 1

    Mix almond flour, nutritional yeast, and oregano together.

  2. 2

    Dredge chicken in rice flour, then egg, then the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

  3. 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. 4

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Top each piece with marinara sauce and dairy-free mozzarella, then broil 2-3 minutes until melted and bubbly.
