PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond meal, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Brush the chicken breast with half of the olive oil, then press it firmly into the almond meal mixture until both sides are evenly coated.

• 4

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 5

  Spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken and top with the mozzarella cheese; return to the oven under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

• 6

  While the chicken rests, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2 minutes until just tender.

  Plate the zucchini noodles, place the chicken parmesan on top, and garnish with freshly torn basil.
