Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
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.
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.
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.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce on each chicken breast.
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.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, if desired.
