INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1 large egg white

2 tbsp almond flour

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 medium zucchini

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Spiralize the zucchini into thin noodles and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess moisture.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy; in a second bowl, mix the almond flour, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg white, then dredge it through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown.

• 6

  Spread the marinara sauce over the chicken and top with the mozzarella cheese.

• 7

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly.

• 8

  While the chicken is finishing, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate non-stick pan for 2 minutes just to soften.

• 9

  Plate the zucchini noodles, place the chicken on top, and garnish with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
