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

• 4

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth; in a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

• 5

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.

  Remove the dish from the oven, pour the marinara sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.
