INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tsp olive oil

1 tbsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with the olive oil.

• 2

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

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then press it firmly into the almond flour mixture until it is thoroughly and thickly coated on both sides.

• 5

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is firm and the chicken is nearly cooked through.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
