5 oz chicken breast

0.5 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

2 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 and lightly grease a baking sheet with the olive oil.

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

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

• 4

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

• 5

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the crust is golden.

• 6

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

• 7

  Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately.
