1 large egg

0.25 cup marinara sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) 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.

• 3

  In a small shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.

• 4

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

• 5

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

• 6

  Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

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

• 8

  Return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

  Garnish with thinly sliced fresh basil and serve immediately.
