INGREDIENTS

4.25 oz Chicken breast

1 large Egg

2 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

0.25 cup Marinara sauce

0.75 oz Part-skim 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 half-inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy pan.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until evenly coated on both sides.

• 5

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and firm.

• 6

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

• 7

  Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 8

  Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve.
