INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.5 oz mozzarella cheese

1 tsp basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and ensure you have an oven-safe skillet ready.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast 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 the oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the coating is golden and crisp.

• 6

  Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the seared chicken and place the mozzarella cheese slices directly onto the sauce.

• 7

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

• 8

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before garnishing with fresh torn basil and serving.
