INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz mozzarella cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth; in a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until thoroughly coated on all sides.

• 5

  Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  Remove the tray from the oven, spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken, and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

• 7

  Switch the oven to broil and return the chicken to the top rack for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

• 8

  While the cheese melts, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2 minutes until just tender, then serve the crispy chicken directly on top.
