Keto Chicken Parm


Keto Chicken Parm
2 servings

1 Chicken Breast - we buy them in bulk and cut them in half down the middle of the breast into more of a cutlet size
6 slices Sargento Thin Sliced Provolone
2 slices Sargento Sliced Mozzarella
Olive Oil
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper

Sauce
1 small (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt & pepper to taste

Place all of the ingredients for the sauce into a small saucepan, and let them simmer over low heat while the chicken is cooking.

In a baking dish, put about a tablespoon of olive oil down on the pan. Then place the chicken pieces on top, and sprinkle with a bit of - salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Turn the chicken over and sprinkle with the same spices. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until it is cooked through - we shoot for 160 degrees.

Once the chicken is done, pull it out of the oven. Spread some of the sauce on the top, generously -- but you won't use all of the sauce. Then place 3 folded slices of provolone and 1 of mozzarella on top. Place it back in the oven - you can either let it bake for a few minutes or you can broil it to get the cheese a bit darker.

I served this with a homemade Caesar salad with no croutons.

For the salad dressing, I use:

1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
Juice from 1 lemon
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4-5 tablespoons of olive oil

Mix everything in a large bowl except for the oil -- whisk it together. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking the dressing into an emulsion. You can taste along the way to see if you want your dressing a little more tart or if you need more oil. Mix in Romaine lettuce and grated Parmesan - I tend to use freshly grated, but the Kraft version is fine -- you just want slivers of parm and not the powder for this.
