Chicken parmesan was my inspiration for this healthier and easier twist. I took all the flavors and packed it into a quiche that is cheesy, SUPER flavorful, and really, really easy! Chicken parmesan can be time consuming, messy to prepare, and not so good for the waistline but with this version you won’t have to worry about any of those things. So go make this right now because you have no excuses!?
Ingredients:
*1/4 cup almond flour
*1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded or grated is fine)
*1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
*1 tablespoon ice cold water
*1 & 3/4 cups (7 ounces) shredded fat free mozzarella cheese
*1/2 cup liquid egg whites
*1/2 cup tomato sauce (plus more for topping)
*1/2 pound cooked & shredded lean chicken
*2 tablespoons light Italian dressing
*2 tablespoons (or more!) minced garlic
*additional salt free Italian seasoning (to taste-make sure they are salt free or your end product will end up way too salty)
*fresh basil (to garnish-optional but really yummy!)
Preheat oven to 350.
Place cooked chicken in a bowl. (Btw I boil up batches of chicken breasts in my crockpot all the time (on high 8-9 hours) & that’s how I made this chicken too. It’s so easy and then you have shredded chicken on hand to make a lot of different recipes super easily.)
Mix Italian dressing and garlic into chicken. Set aside for now.
In pie pan or square dish add parmesan and almond flour. Mix well.
In a small bowl or mug beat together olive oil & ice water until thickened.
Stir olive oil into the almond flour & parmesan mixture. Using fingers press into bottom as evenly as possible to form the crust.
Layer chicken into bottom of crust.
Stir egg whites, tomato sauce, salt free seasoning to taste (I used probably 1.5 tablespoons), and mozzarella. Pour oven chicken.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until firm on top.
Let cool 5 minutes before cutting. Makes 3 large servings. I highly recommend that you garnish with extra tomato sauce and basil ?
