INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1 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

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Brush the chicken breast with half of the olive oil, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crust to both sides.

• 5

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  While the chicken finishes, sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan with the remaining olive oil for 2 minutes until just tender.

• 9

  Plate the zucchini noodles, top with the baked chicken parmesan, and garnish with fresh torn basil.
