Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat both sides with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. If necessary, do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
Step 9
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce-covered chicken.
Step 10
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
