INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Dredge the chicken breast in the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

• 4

  Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until the coating is golden and the chicken is nearly cooked through.

• 5

  Remove from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken, then sprinkle with the part-skim mozzarella cheese.

• 6

  Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• 7

  While the chicken finishes, lightly steam or sauté the zucchini noodles until tender-crisp.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken parmesan immediately over the bed of zucchini noodles.
