INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz Chicken breast

2 tbsp Almond flour

1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 large Egg

0.5 cup Marinara sauce

1 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

2 cup Zucchini noodles

1 tsp Fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally almost all the way through, then pound it to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it firmly into the almond flour mixture until fully coated on both sides.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the crust is golden and crisp.

• 6

  Spread the marinara sauce over the chicken and top with the mozzarella cheese, then transfer the skillet or a baking sheet to the oven.

• 7

  Bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• 8

  While the chicken bakes, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 2 minutes until just tender, then serve the chicken over the noodles garnished with fresh basil.
