INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

2 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to create a thick, even crust.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the coating is golden brown.

• 6

  Spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 7

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly.

• 8

  While the chicken is baking, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 2 minutes until just tender but still firm.

• 9

  Plate the crispy chicken over the bed of zucchini noodles and garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
