INGREDIENTS

4 oz Chicken breast

0.25 cup 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

1 large Egg

0.5 cup Marinara sauce

1 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp Fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Butterfly the chicken breast or pound it with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press it firmly into the almond flour mixture until fully and evenly coated.

• 5

  Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

• 6

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

• 7

  Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

• 8

  Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
