INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

0.5 oz parmesan cheese

1 tbsp almond flour

1 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1.5 cups zucchini noodles

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Butterfly the chicken breast and pound it to an even half-inch thickness for uniform cooking.

• 2

  Prepare three shallow bowls: one with the almond flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano mixed together; one with the whisked egg; and one with the finely grated parmesan cheese.

• 3

  Dredge the chicken lightly in the almond flour mixture, dip it into the egg wash, and then press firmly into the parmesan cheese until the breast is completely coated.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  While the chicken rests, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

• 7

  In the same skillet used for the chicken, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles for 1-2 minutes until they are just tender but still have a slight bite.

• 8

  Plate the zucchini noodles, place the crispy chicken on top, and finish with a generous pour of the warm marinara sauce.
