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

• 3

  Whisk the egg in a shallow bowl; in a separate shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press into the almond flour mixture until thoroughly coated.

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

  Transfer the seared chicken to the baking sheet, spoon the marinara sauce over the top, sprinkle with mozzarella, and bake for 10-12 minutes.

  While the chicken bakes, briefly sauté the zucchini noodles in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until just tender.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken over the bed of zucchini noodles and garnish with chopped fresh basil.
