Keto Chicken Parmigiana

Cultural Context

Originating from Southern Italy, Chicken Parmigiana is a beloved dish that showcases the Italian tradition of breading and frying meats. Traditionally served with pasta, the keto version swaps out high-carb elements for almond flour and sugar-free marinara, making it suitable for low-carb diets. This dish has gained popularity worldwide, often adapted to local tastes while retaining its comforting essence.
