5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup marinara sauce

1 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

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

• 3

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

• 4

  Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breast with the extra virgin olive oil, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.

• 5

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

• 6

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

• 7

  Switch the oven to broil and return the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken over a bed of lightly sautéed zucchini noodles to keep the meal light and vibrant.
