Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.75 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Sugar-free marinara sauce
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons Avocado oil or olive oil
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then press it into the almond flour mixture, covering both sides evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. The chicken should not be fully cooked at this stage.
Step 7
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. Top each one with an equal amount of sugar-free marinara sauce, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Step 8
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce on each chicken breast.
Step 9
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, if desired.
