Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat both sides with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. If necessary, do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce-covered chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
