Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken Breasts
• 0.5 cup Almond Flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 cup Marinara Sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh Basil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another shallow dish, beat the egg with a fork until smooth.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve warm with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as zucchini noodles or a green salad.
