INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 large egg

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup marinara sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Set up two shallow bowls: whisk the egg in the first, and combine almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in the second.

• 3

  Dredge the chicken breast in the egg wash, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

• 4

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 5

  Remove from the oven, spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.

• 6

  Switch the oven to broil and place the chicken back in for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

• 7

  While the chicken rests, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes until just tender.

• 8

  Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the crispy chicken parmesan to serve immediately.
