INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 large egg

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

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

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. In a second shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

• 4

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then dredge thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating adheres.

• 5

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

• 6

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

• 7

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.

• 8

  While the chicken bakes, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate non-stick pan for 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.

• 9

  Serve the crispy chicken over the bed of zucchini noodles and enjoy immediately.
