INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated 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

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cups zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness.

• 2

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

• 3

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture until fully coated.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the crust is golden and the meat is cooked through.

• 5

  Spread the marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella; cover the pan for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• 6

  In a separate pan, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2 minutes until tender but still firm.

• 7

  Plate the zucchini noodles, top with the crispy chicken parmesan, and garnish with fresh basil.
