Healthy Chicken Parmesan
This is a healthy chicken parmesan recipe. It is grain-free and gluten free, uses goat cheese instead of cow cheese, and uses coconut oil for cooking. Allergies to cow’s dairy is one of the most common food allergies. Many people who are allergic or sensitive to cow’s dairy can tolerate goat. Coconut oil holds up well when heated and is one of the best oils to cook with. Gluten is also a common allergin and this healthy chicken parmesan recipe does not have gluten or any other grains. It uses tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch) for the coating. Most gluten-free recipes call for almond or other nut flours but these oxide when heated and become unhealthy. Tapioca starch doesn’t do this and also has a better, lighter flavor.
