Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 cups Whole30 compliant marinara sauce
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely coated.
Next, roll the chicken in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the Whole30 compliant marinara sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast on top of the marinara for a cheesy flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
