INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

3 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

1 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz fresh mozzarella cheese

1 tsp olive oil

1 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Set up a dredging station with two shallow bowls: in the first, whisk the egg; in the second, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

• 4

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil to help achieve a golden, crispy finish.

• 5

  Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is firm.

• 6

  Remove from the oven, spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken, and top with the fresh mozzarella slices.

• 7

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

• 8

  While the cheese melts, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan for 2 minutes until tender-crisp, then serve the chicken parmesan over the noodles.
