INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 large egg

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels to ensure the breading adheres properly for maximum crunch.

• 2

  Set up a dredging station by whisking the egg in one shallow bowl and combining the almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a second bowl.

• 3

  Dip the chicken cutlet into the egg wash, then press it firmly into the parmesan mixture until it is evenly and thickly coated on both sides.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the crust is beautifully browned and the meat is cooked through.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside; in the same pan, add the marinara sauce and zucchini noodles, tossing for 2 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the noodles are just tender.

• 6

  Place the zucchini noodles and sauce on a plate, top with the crispy chicken, and garnish with fresh, aromatic basil.
