INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Dip the chicken breast into the whisked egg, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated.

• 4

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly drizzle or spray with the extra virgin olive oil.

• 5

  Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

• 6

  Remove from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken, then top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 7

  Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

• 8

  While the cheese melts, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan for 2 minutes until just tender.

• 9

  Serve the chicken parmesan over the zucchini noodles and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
