INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz Chicken breast

1.5 tbsp Almond flour

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Dried oregano

0.13 tsp Sea salt

0.13 tsp Black pepper

1 large Egg

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.33 cup Marinara sauce

0.75 oz Mozzarella cheese

1 medium Zucchini

1 tsp Fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Set up a breading station with two shallow bowls: whisk the egg in the first bowl, and combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and oregano in the second.

• 4

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press it firmly into the almond flour mixture until fully and evenly coated.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  While the chicken bakes, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles and lightly sauté them in a separate pan for 2 minutes until just tender.

• 9

  Plate the crispy chicken over the zucchini noodles and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
