GLUTEN-FREE GRILLED CHICKEN PARMESAN (LOW-CARB)

Gluten-free grilled chicken Parmesan. The chicken is seasoned and grilled, then topped with flavorful marinara sauce, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and broiled until the cheese is bubbly and browned. Serve with your favorite vegetable and a gluten-free pasta of choice, and you have a perfect meal! Gluten-free, grain-free, low-carb, ketogenic.

So I’m going to be completely honest. This recipe was supposed to be a grilled chicken Parmesan slider recipe, but sometimes plans change.
The buns I made were just too small for these gargantuan chicken breasts, so I made a more traditional chicken Parmesan dish instead, except with a twist, because that is what I do.
I promise at some point I will do a post for tasty chicken Parmesan sliders, because they would be the perfect party food, if I could just get the buns right!
This grilled chicken Parmesan is undeniably tasty, and much healthier than the usual fried stuff. Although, I must say, if you’re going to indulge in some guilt-free fried food, this gluten-free fried chicken is the way to go.
