Ingredients

• 2 large, boneless, skinless Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup, low-carb Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 5 leaves, optional for garnish Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, cover them with plastic wrap, and pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven, spoon low-carb marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve hot.
