INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

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 second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

• 3

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then dredge it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.

• 4

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly mist with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

• 5

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

• 6

  Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

• 7

  While the chicken finishes, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan with a splash of water or steam them until tender-crisp.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken over the bed of zucchini noodles and enjoy immediately.
