[#ad] By law I need to call this an ad because I have a professional relationship with the Fat & Happy brand, but, I would be posting this recipe even if I didn’t. It’s everything we want in low-carb eating. A nice, juicy protein with crunch to boot.
If you’re not familiar with Fat & Happy, let me tell you a little more about them. They’re a new, clean salad dressing brand made with ketone-producing MCT oil. You can read more about keto and MCT oil here.
Fat & Happy Foods makes three delicious varieties of dressings – balsamic, Italian and ranch. Over the next couple weeks I’ll be sharing recipes made with each of the dressings. If you follow them on Instagram, you can find more recipes in their stories! All of them are keto compliant (some with modifications) and all are low-carb!
Sometimes it’s difficult to get crunchy things on a keto diet because nothing crisps up like a good starch but the skin on these chicken pieces will not disappoint with the crisp factor!
This recipe is so simple you can easily prep it for a weeknight dinner in minutes. Just make sure to marinate the pieces for at least 2 hours (overnight works too) to get all the good flavor.
Low-carb Parmesan Garlic Baked Chicken
Low-carb, baked chicken crusted with Parmesan and garlic and bursting with flavor! Marinated whole chicken pieces feature Fat & Happy MCT oil Italian Dressing.
- Total Time: 3 hours
- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
One whole chicken, cut up.
½ cup Fat & Happy Foods Italian Dressing
1 ¼ cup fresh, shredded Parmesan Cheese
½ cup almond flour
½ tsp each garlic powder & onion powder
Instructions
Place the chicken pieces in a large plastic bag.
Pour in Fat & Happy Italian Dressing and marinate for 2 hours, turning the bag over often.
When you’re ready to bake them, preheat the oven to 350˚.
In a clean zip top bag, combine the remaining ingredients and shake well.
Place a chicken breast in the bag and shake well, covering all sides of the chicken.
Repeat with the other breast.
Place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet and place in the oven.
(The breasts will cook for 20 minutes longer than the other pieces.)
Coat the other pieces and place them on the baking sheet after 20 minutes.
(If you’re going to add vegetables, add them now too.)
Bake for an additional 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve immediately.
