Today’s recipe comes courtesy of my wife, Kate. A little known fact about us, we each lived in New Jersey, at separate times of course. I lived in NJ while playing for the Eagles and Kate was born there. One Sunday we got to talking about how every corner in Jersey has a Italian sub shop with great sandwiches and “chicken parm”. And how California sucks for both. So she headed to the store and started working on a chicken parmesan recipe to make on Sunday’s to relive our Jersey days.
Now, where this recipe pays dividends is the left overs. Double the recipe and make a batch to put in the fridge. I am convinced that chicken parm gets better when it is cold and has sat in the fridge for a day.
Enjoy.
Kate’s Chicken Parmesan
INGREDIENTS:
3 lbs of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
½ cup almond flour
⅓ cup arrowroot
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp basil
4 whole eggs
1 tbsp whole milk
24 oz Organic Gluten-Free pasta sauce
Fresh Parmesan cheese
Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella cheese
½-1 cup Coconut Oil
DIRECTIONS:
First, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Put ½-1 cup of coconut oil in a large skillet and turn on med/high heat.
Split the chicken breasts down the middle butterfly style and pound them with a heavy implement until about ½ inch thick.
Add milk and eggs in a bowl and beat together.
In another big bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot, and spices and mix together.
Dip the chicken into the egg/milk mix and then into the flour/arrowroot mix until well coated.
Put directly into the coconut oil pan and cook, flipping once, until both sides have browned and chicken is cooked (~4 mins)
Add pasta sauce to a bowl, put it on low to heat it up. Slice mozzarella into thin slices.
Once the chicken has cooked in the coconut oil pan, place it into a large pyrex dish, top with pasta sauce, mozzarella and parmesan.
Put the pan in the oven until the cheese is melted. (~3-5 mins)
And of course, this serves one.

As a proud, displaced Philly resident, I can see why the city had some of the fattest residents. Steaks (read cheesteaks), subs, pizza, water (wooder) ice, and chicken parm. I’m going to have to try this one out, as I haven’t found a good chicken parm in a long time. All I need is a line on some Amaroso rolls…
