4.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 medium zucchini

1 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the half egg; in a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then dredge it through the almond flour mixture until it is thoroughly and evenly coated.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown.

• 5

  Place the seared chicken on the prepared baking sheet, spread the marinara sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

• 6

  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly.

• 7

  While the chicken bakes, spiralize the zucchini into noodles and lightly sauté them in the same skillet used for the chicken for 2-3 minutes until just tender.

• 8

  Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the crispy chicken parmesan.
