INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.13 tsp sea salt

0.13 tsp black pepper

0.5 large egg

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a shallow dish, whisk the half egg. In a separate shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Dredge the chicken breast into the egg wash, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

• 4

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

• 5

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

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the crispy chicken parmesan, garnishing with freshly chopped basil.
