PREPARATION

• 1

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

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.

• 4

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

• 5

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture until evenly coated on both sides.

• 6

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

• 7

  Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet, spread the marinara sauce over the top, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

• 8

  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly.

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

• 10

  Plate the zucchini noodles, top with the crispy chicken parmesan, and garnish with fresh basil.
