2 tbsp almond flour

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz mozzarella cheese

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) 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 using a meat mallet.

• 3

  In a shallow dish, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breast with the extra virgin olive oil to help the coating stick.

• 5

  Dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even, crispy coating on all sides.

• 6

  Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until the crust begins to turn golden.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and carefully spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken.

• 8

  Top the sauce with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.

• 9

  Return the chicken to the oven for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
