INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 cup marinara sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. In a second shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Dredge the chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

• 4

  Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly drizzle the top with extra virgin olive oil to help it crisp up.

• 5

  Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 6

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

• 7

  Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

• 8

  Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
