INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

2 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

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until both sides are thoroughly coated.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the crust is golden and crisp.

• 5

  Spread the marinara sauce over the top of the chicken and place the sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

• 6

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

• 7

  While the chicken rests, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 2 minutes until just tender, then serve the chicken over the noodles and garnish with fresh basil.
