Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a small baking dish with the olive oil.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet until it is an even 0.5-inch thickness.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the half egg. In a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Dip the chicken cutlet into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken in the prepared baking dish and bake for 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven, spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken, and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
