Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Sugar-free marinara sauce
• 0.75 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well-coated, then dip it into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating stick. Shake off any excess.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage as it will finish cooking in the oven.

Step 7

Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet or dish. Spoon the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over each piece of chicken.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, ensuring each piece of chicken is generously covered.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with a low-carb side such as zoodles, cauliflower rice, or a crisp green salad.
