INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

2 tsp olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz mozzarella cheese

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F 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 to ensure it cooks uniformly.

• 3

  In a shallow dish, whisk together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Brush 1 teaspoon of olive oil over both sides of the chicken, then dredge it through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly so the coating adheres.

• 5

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

• 6

  Remove the tray from the oven, spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken, and top with the mozzarella cheese.

• 7

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

• 8

  While the chicken finishes, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.

• 9

  Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the crispy chicken parmesan to serve immediately.
