INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup zucchini noodles

1 tbsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then dredge it through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating on all sides.

• 4

  Heat the olive 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 and fragrant.

• 5

  Spread the marinara sauce over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  Plate the chicken over the zucchini noodles and garnish with freshly torn basil leaves.
