INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.5 large egg

1.5 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

0.33 cup marinara sauce

0.5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

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 half-inch thickness, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.

• 5

  Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  While the chicken rests, sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan with the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes until just tender, and serve as the base for your chicken.
