Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups marinara sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets (or you can buy pre-sliced cutlets).
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully blended.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, ensuring the cutlet is fully coated.
In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the coated chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this low carb twist on a classic dish!
