Keto chicken parmesan in tomato sauce with zucchini noodles mozzarella and basil — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

This search theme rates 4.8 out of 5. The TooGut fix is separating the zoodles from the sauce until the final minute, which keeps the pan glossy instead of filling it with the water zucchini was always going to release.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Dry the zoodles first

Salt zucchini noodles in a colander for 10 minutes, then squeeze firmly in a clean tea towel.

Crust the chicken

Mix parmesan and almond meal. Dip chicken in egg, press into the crumb and cook in olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes each side until golden. Set aside.

Keep the sauce bright

Add garlic to the pan for 30 seconds, then passata and oregano. Simmer for 6 minutes until thick enough to coat a spoon.

Melt, do not drown

Return chicken to the sauce, top with mozzarella and cover for 3 minutes until melted.

Zoodles get one minute

Toss the squeezed zoodles through the sauce around the chicken for 60 to 90 seconds only. Finish with basil and black pepper.
