Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • skillet
  • oven
  • shallow dish
  • baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each chicken cutlet in the egg wash, then coat in the almond flour mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to a baking sheet. Spoon marinara sauce over each cutlet and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
