How To Make Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Breasts

Begin with thin, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ensuring they are sliced and trimmed to form delicate chicken cutlets.

Step 2: Prepare the Breading

In a bowl, whisk two eggs thoroughly. In another bowl, combine all the chicken Parmesan seasonings and flour, creating a well-blended mixture.

Step 3: Dredge the Chicken

Heat a frying pan on high, adding a drizzle of olive oil for an extra layer of flavor. Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, then dredge it generously in the seasoned flour mixture.

Step 4: Crisp the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 450°F.

Place the coated chicken breasts into the heated frying pan, adding a drizzle of olive oil on top for that perfect crispiness.

Step 5: Lock in the Juices

Cover the pan and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until the edges boast a golden brown hue, remembering to cover the pan after each flip.

The cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your chicken breast.

Step 6: Prepare the Baking Dish

Once your chicken parmesan achieves a delightful blend of crispy exterior and fully cooked interior, transfer it from the stove top to a lasagna pan, casserole dish or any rectangular baking dish.

For easier cleaning, consider pouring a bit of sauce onto the pan before adding the chicken, reducing the likelihood of chicken pieces sticking.

Step 7: Add the Sauce

With the chicken in place, cover it generously with the remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle a layer of cheese on top.

Step 8: Bake the Chicken Parmesan

Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese on top achieves that irresistible melted perfection.

Tips For Making The Best Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Golden Rule: Achieve a golden-brown crust by ensuring the oven is adequately preheated and maintaining an even temperature throughout the cooking process.

Smart Substitutions: Explore dairy-free alternatives for a lactose-free version or swap out the almond flour for a different gluten-free alternative based on your dietary requirements.

Safety Reminder: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F for safe consumption.
