Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
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.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
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.
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.
Transfer the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven, spoon low-carb marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve hot.
