This gluten‑free, oven‑baked chicken Parmesan delivers all the crispy, cheesy comfort of the classic dish without the frying or the gluten. Made with a simple almond‑flour coating and baked until golden, it’s a lighter, easier weeknight dinner that still tastes restaurant‑worthy. The chicken stays juicy, the crust gets perfectly crisp in the oven, and the whole recipe comes together with pantry staples. It’s a family‑friendly, high‑protein meal that works for busy nights, meal prep, or anyone looking for a delicious gluten‑free twist on traditional chicken parm.
Prep the chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create smaller portions.
Make coating: In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free panko breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
Prepare the egg wash: In a separate bowl, wisk the eggs until smooth.
Dredge and coat: Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Bake: Place chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil.
Top chicken with mozzarella and marinara sauce. Cook and additional 2-3 minutes.
