INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the coating.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

• 6

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

• 7

  Transfer the skillet to the oven (or move chicken to the prepared baking sheet) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

• 8

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

• 9

  Serve the crispy chicken over the zucchini noodles and enjoy immediately.
