Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan

One of my dinner favorites is chicken parmesan. As much as I love it, I can over do it. I often make it healthy by reducing the cheese and choosing a healthier side dish, like broccoli, but this time I wanted to make this chicken parmesan recipe gluten free.

Originally I wanted to create this gluten free chicken parmesan with a homemade marinara but you know what? I’m tired, I am so darn tired.

School just let in and I’m still transitioning to these new routines (I better get used to it, I have many years ahead of me doing this) but my body is feeling it. Running to kindergarten drop off, working, being a wife and mother, it’s exhausting! So you know what? I cheated. I used jarred marinara and I encourage all of you to do it too. It makes this dinner quicker and so much easier and that is what all us moms and busy working people need! Something that’s healthy, easy, and delicious.

To make my life easier, I often do meal prep and it’s perfect for lunches, stir fries, and salads. Check out my meal prep guide for busy families for some tried and true tips.

Another tip for making life easier while adjusting to the back to school life is the Shopping With Chicken App. I’ve spoken about this app countless times in the past and it’s because it’s so darn convenient! My favorite feature is that I can post a list the syncs with my husband’s app, so if he’s at the store he can check the list and pick up the items for me. It saves me a million little trips and I deeply appreciate it.

Healthy Chicken Parmesan

Traditionally chicken parmesan is made with breadcrumbs (or panko crumbs) but since this healthy chicken parmesan is gluten free, it’s made with almond flour (also known as almond meal).
