Instant Pot: Chicken Parmesan

ip chicken parmOk so this is where I say I grew up Italian food and have always loved chicken parmesan but that would not be the truth! I did grow up on Italian food but I was so picky all I ate was pasta with Ragu sauce. No meat, no frills, nothing other than plain pasta with plain sauce.

At some point over the years I became a little more adventurous and started eating outside of my comfort zone. I began to love meat with my pasta and one day tried chicken parmesan. I LOVED it! I eat a ton of chicken BUT it is never something that I crave unless it is topped or stuffed. Chicken parm fits the bill!

NUTRITION

Including Broccoli this recipe has 269 calories, 8g fat, 14g carbs and 39g of protein! Without the broccoli it has 235 calories, 8g fat, 8g carbs and 36g of protein. It is protein packed and full of flavor without unnecessary carbs and fat. Winna winna chicken dinna!!!

KETO & GLUTEN-FREE

This recipe is keto friendly unless you end up pairing it with a pile of pasta – don’t! or do, whatever floats your boat! It is also naturally gluten-free (again unless you pair it with a pile of pasta!). There is plenty of sauce leftover to use on top of the broccoli, pasta or spaghetti squash! Whatever your little heart desires! I personally wanted to stick with the healthy route and just paired it with a pile of broccoli and it was healthy and delicious!

INSTANT POT OR OVEN

You can make this in the Instant Pot or oven! It is super easy both ways. I made this in the Instant pot and used chicken breast cutlets (another word for thinly cut chicken breasts). You can also use regular chicken breasts and cut them in half.  I also used store bought sauce. There’s no shame in my game. Its easy, delicious and perfect for recipes like this! Just be on the lookout for a sauce that is around 8g of sugar or less. If you don’t have an Instant Pot you can make my other Oven baked chicken parm recipe by clicking here!
