INGREDIENTS

3 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

1.5 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce

1 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Pound the chicken breast to an even half-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture to coat both sides thoroughly.

• 5

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and mist evenly with the olive oil.

• 6

  Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken and top with mozzarella.

• 7

  Return to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 8

  Sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan for 2 minutes until tender-crisp, then serve the chicken on top.
