INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 cup zucchini

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth; in a second bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then dredge in the parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a thick golden crust forms.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until crispy and fully cooked through.

• 5

  Remove the chicken to a plate and add the sliced zucchini to the same skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

• 6

  Warm the marinara sauce with red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming and fragrant.

• 7

  Spoon the zesty marinara onto the center of a plate, top with the crispy chicken, and serve with the sautéed zucchini on the side.
