Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup almond flour
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Olive oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another shallow bowl, mix the almond flour and Parmesan cheese.
-
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
-
Transfer the fried chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Spoon marinara sauce over each breast and top with mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
-
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
-
For a low-carb alternative to pasta, serve over zucchini noodles.
-
Use dairy-free cheese for a dairy-free version.
-
Add red pepper flakes to the marinara for extra spice.
-
Air fry the breaded chicken for a healthier option without frying.
