Equipment

Slow cooker
Skillet
Shallow Bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds / 900g
1 cup almond flour 96g
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 50g
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 cups low-carb marinara sauce 480ml
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 100g
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped 6g
2 tbsp olive oil 30ml

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the almond flour mixture until fully coated.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Place the seared chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour the low-carb marinara sauce over the chicken, making sure they are well covered.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Ten minutes before the end of cooking time, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker again and allow the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also use chicken thighs for a more budget-friendly option, adjusting the cooking time accordingly. For an even lower carb count, consider making your own keto-friendly marinara sauce. This dish pairs well with a side of keto garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
