Chicken Parmesan with Hearts of Palm Alfredo













Chicken Parmesan with Hearts of Palm Alfredo

















I keep seeing posts about using Hearts of Palm as pasta and finally tried it out. So glad I did! I would happily order this dish at Olive Garden! The breaded chicken was nice and crisp and the hearts of palm have the perfect creamy texture and taste.





Chicken Parmesan Ingredients





2 chicken breasts

salt and pepper

1/4 cup oat fiber

1 egg

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp parsley

bacon grease or avocado oil (for frying)

Prego Farmer's Market Marinara sauce

shredded mozzarella cheese

▪Preheat oven to 400°





▪Cut each chicken breast in half ~ making 4 pieces. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thickness with a meat mallet. Season each with salt and pepper





▪Arrange 3 bowls. In the first, put the oat fiber. In the second, beat up the egg. In the third, mix together the almond flour, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and parsley





▪Heat 1/2 inch of grease in a skillet over medium-low. Dredge each piece of chicken in the oat fiber, then the egg, then the almond flour mixture. Place in the grease and fry until golden brown on both sides. (Don't worry about cooking through ~ they finish in the oven)





▪Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil and cooking spray. Put chicken on and bake in oven for 10 minutes. Take out and top with marinara and mozzarella then bake for another 10 minutes





▪While your chicken is baking ~ prepare the Hearts of Palm Alfredo

▪Slowly mix in parmesan until creamy

Did you know Hearts of Palm are the buds off palm trees?

I never knew they existed until I became Keto.

I eat more plants/veggies now than I ever did before this lifestyle.
