INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.5 large egg

1.5 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz mozzarella cheese

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the half egg until smooth to create a binder for the breading.

• 4

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

• 5

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the almond flour mixture until fully coated.

• 6

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

• 7

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

• 8

  Return the pan to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

• 9

  Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately while the cheese is perfectly melted.
