What if I told you — you can make a departure from gluten breaded Chicken Parmesan because you can achieve better flavor? Would you be up for trying it? Good, because if you make your Chicken Parmesan this way you may not want it the old way again.
I attribute the rich flavor of this variety of gluten free Chicken Parmesan to two things – the coconut flour used to bread the chicken and the rich flavor of Francesco Rinaldi Pasta Sauce {it’s made by Italians you know!}
My husband and I enjoy Italian food so much, we served chicken parmesan at our wedding reception. This dish is an easy recipe to make and it makes a bunch. So once you have it ready you’ve created an evening off the following night because all you’ll need to do is re-heat leftovers and enjoy again. 
To keep this meal completely gluten free you can pair this chicken parmesan with any number of gluten free pastas or spaghetti squash. The Francesco Rinaldi Pasta Sauce is already gluten free so you can pour it all over the chicken and gluten free pasta. This pasta sauce is low carb (less than 100 calories per serving) and you can taste the rich tomatoes and fresh herbs in the sauce.
The chicken is seared on the outside and then baked to create a juicy, tender, mouthwatering chicken dish that the whole family will love. My husband devoured the first plate and then asked for more.
Ingredients for gluten free Chicken Parmesan
- 4-6 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fresh or thawed, not frozen) these will be cut in half length-wise
- 1 1/2 Cups Organic Coconut flour
- 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 to 2 jars of Francesco Rinaldi Pasta Sauce – Tomato, Garlic and Onion is delicious
- 1 1/2 Cups of freshly shredded Monterey Jack cheese – you can also use Mozzarella
- 3 Tablespoons butter – unsalted
- 2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 – 2 Cups gluten free pasta or spaghetti squash
Directions to create gluten free Chicken Parmesan
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Prepare the chicken. Wash and trim off any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Cut the breasts length-wise to make smaller pieces of chicken breasts.
I paired our gluten free Chicken Parmesan with brown rice pasta, steamed broccoli and extra tablespoonfuls of Tomato, Garlic and Onion Francesco Rinaldi Pasta Sauce. The entire meal was rich, delicious, and satisfying. You’d never guess the entire dish was gluten free!
