Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the egg with a fork until smooth.
Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve warm with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as zucchini noodles or a green salad.
