Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large zucchini
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 leaves fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to make four thin pieces, and season each with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 5

Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coat.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 8

Cut the zucchinis lengthwise to create four thick slices; these will serve as your sub "buns." Scoop out some of the flesh in the center to make a shallow indentation for the filling.

Step 9

Place the zucchini halves on a baking sheet and spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce into each zucchini “bun.”

Step 10

Place a cooked chicken piece on top of the sauce in each zucchini, followed by an additional tablespoon of marinara sauce on each piece.

Step 11

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each chicken piece.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
