I love a good Chicken Parmie, but every time I order one, I end up terribly sick as it wasn’t gluten free 🙁 So I gave up my love for oversized parmies many years ago.

Every time I go to the pub and order one, I end up begging M to never let me do it again, so you can imagine that creating a gluten free/healthy parmie has been on my list since forever.

I endeavoured to make it nut free, but you can always substitute the ingredients as per the recipe. I hope you guys love this one as much as I did for lunch!

Love Nik xx

Dinner tonight is @mayurastation beef schnitzel from @mylocalbutcher turned in to Parmis using my recipe from The Healthy Mix II – home made chips for the kids & salad for moi. Who needs the pub anyway… 😭 me… I need the pub! #unsponsored #skinnymixer #skinnymixers #thermomix #thermomixaus #wagyu

Ingredients

Crumb Ingredients

  • 50 g sesame seeds
  • 50 g sunflower seeds - or raw almonds or bread crumbs
  • 2 tsp italian herb mix - from the supermarket
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Parmie Sauce Ingredients

  • 150 g tomato paste
  • 50 g semi dried tomato
  • 50 g roasted capsicum
  • 15 g water
  • 5 g olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp italian herb mix
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • pinch of dried chilli flakes - this is optional, but HIGHLY recommended - it isnt spicy!

Chicken Parmie Ingredients

  • 500 g raw chicken breast - cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 20 g of reserved crumb mixture

To serve

  • Oil to fry
  • Cheese of choice - I used baby bocconcini

Instructions

  • Add crumb ingredients to a dry mixer bowl, chop for 3-5 sec/speed 5/MC on. You want to have a crumb texture, not powder. Set aside on a large plate.
  • Without washing the bowl, add your paste ingredients and chop for 5 sec/speed 5/MC on. Set aside in a bowl, ensuring to scrape out as much of the sauce as possible.
  • Without washing the bowl, add chicken parmie ingredients and process for 40 sec/speed 9/MC on.
  • Divide the chicken mixture into 4 or 6, with damp hands and form into 2 cm steaks. I found putting a portion of the chicken mixture onto the plate of crumbs, and pressing it out onto the crumbs the easiest way.

To Cook

  • Pre heat a frying pan to medium high heat with preferred oil. Also pre heat your grill to medium high.
  • Fry your schnitzels for around 3 minutes on one side so its golden brown, then flip and fry for around 2 minutes. You dont want to overcook them as they will continue cooking under the grill.
  • Top each schnitzel with your reserved parmie sauce, then cheese and grill until golden brown.

  1. This was awesome,like all of Nik’s recipes. No washing the bowl between steps. I made it with all sundried tomato,as I had no capsicum. Tasted fantastic. My 5 year old grandson ate a whole one to himself,unheard of. He usually eats all his vegetable and picks at the meat. My 2 teenagers ate it all. I made 700g and got 7 serves. It was even better the next day,cold,with salad for lunch. Thanks again for another winning dish.

  2. I don’t think I have ever eaten a chicken parmie before. Somehow I have always related them to something you might find in the hotbox of a roadside truck stop. Not very appealing. I didn’t even have all of the ingredients when I decided very late in the day to give these a go for dinner. So easy, so tasty and no complaints across the board. They tick all of the boxes for us and will no doubt be a regular at our dinner table. Thx Nic!

  3. I made this for myself but ended up taking it over to a grateful mum and a fussy “I don’t believe in healthy food”dad. When he was done he asked me if I had made that from scratch or bought it. He couldn’t believe I made a healthy parma that tasted exactly like the real thing! That’s quite a compliment from him Nik, another winner!

  4. So I was going through the dictionary, in the B section, stumbled across ‘bomb’, and the definition read: (absolute) Skinnymixers Chicken parmi!
    Seriously this is devine, I will never order this out again. My kids demand it once a week at least, thank you Nik for yet another amazing, simple, healthy recipe.

  5. Made the Parmi tonight for our family of 7 and can honestly say WOW. I used the raw almonds rather than the breadcrumbs and loved the taste of it through the incredible sauce. Definitely on our list of most loved meals. Well done Nik.

  6. Delicious! And so quick even while juggling 3 babies. Definitely in the repeat menu. And do easy to make toddler size portions.

  7. I cooked this the day after nik posted it. Really like it. Quick and easy. I served it with steamed veg and nik’s lovely silky sweet potato mash. I’ve just started reducing white carbs so this was such a winner – although all of nik’s recipes are winners! Thank you nik.

  8. This was another great quick and extremely tasty recipie. Really took no time and I doubled it so we had enough for our family of five for dinner and lunches for two days so I was very happy with that. Love that it’s not wiht nuts, we eat Paleo/lchf and sometimes you can get a bit over nuts in everything. Well done again Nik & team

  9. I Made This For Dinner Last Night. I Think I Forgot To Add The Egg Because I Couldnt Remember Doing It But It Still Tasted Amazing. So Quick And Easy It took me Longer To Prep And Cook The Veg That Went With It. This Was also A Perfect Fit For My New Lchf Way Of Eating. Thank You Nik And Please Keep these Amazing But Simple Recipes Coming xx

  10. Soooooo yummy and quiet easy to make. I made them almonds and sesame seeds. I added the pinch of chilli and it gave it a slight zing of heat which everyone loved.
    2 chicken breasts made enough for my family of seven.
    The kids loved them too and were asking if there were any more. 🙂

  11. Imagine my surprise when MR decided to cook these last night. I got home from work and he was mid stride with the Bellini – in his element..
    These are awesome in flavour – you never fail to disappoint Nik.
    Who would of thought of a parmie in the bellini? You are warped and twisted and we love it!

  12. wow! I cannot believe I can make a chicken parmie in my Thermomix. Skinnymixers makes anything possible. I made mine with raw almonds and it was absolutely delish. Hubby who loves a pub chicken parmie took 1 mouthful, gave me a high five and declared them the best parmie he has ever had. I served mine with salad. Such a fantastic quick, easy and really tasty Thermomix mid week meal.

  13. I can’t say enough good things about this recipe! I used a mixture of sesame seeds and homemade wholemeal bread crumbs (I always keep my crusts in the freezer), 700g of chicken breasts because that’s what 2 breasts weighed, and I only had a few sundried tomatoes left in the bottom of the tub, but I poured in the oil for extra flavour and doubled the capsicum quantity (because 1 roasted capsicum weighed 100g). I also doubled the quantity of all the other sauce ingredients. This is what I love about this recipe though. You can tweak it a bit and it still turns out fantastic! No rinsing the bowl in between, the chicken turns into the most fantastic texture following the recipe exactly. I made in my Bellini using the sharp blade from start to finish, then put baking paper on my scales, scooped the chicken onto it, and grabbed 100g handfuls for the crumb mix (which I increased slightly due to the increased amount of chicken). Ended up with 7 perfect patties that looked awesome and tasted divine! Was easy to make early and come back to later. Capsicum and sundried tomato sauce combo, pure genius Nik! Thanks for another awesome family friendly meal!~

  15. “Dinner of Champions” said very happy hubby! I didn’t have semi-dried tomatoes so just increased the amount of capsicum to compensate. Everyone else in family loved it too. Definitely a keeper in the recipe folder!

  16. This was amazing! I used the sesame seed and almond crumb (and was a little short on sesame seeds so added extra almonds). My husband voted it “best parmie ever”, kids had it as just a schnitzel without the topping. So easy and tasty – will be staying on the menu

  17. This was delicious and so easy to make. I used the sunflower seed and sesame seed crumb, and it was yummy. Next time will try the almond and sesame crumb just to compare. Had no capsicum so used extra semi dried tomato with no problem. This is definitely going to be a regular in our house!
