INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

1 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 avocado oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Dredge the chicken breast into the egg wash, then press it firmly into the almond flour mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

• 4

  Heat the avocado oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

• 5

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

• 6

  Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly.

• 7

  While the chicken bakes, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 2 minutes until just tender, then drain any excess moisture.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken over the zucchini noodles and garnish with fresh torn basil.
