Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for coating)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
1 cup low-carb marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Set up a dredging station. In the first shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In the second dish, combine the almond flour, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and oregano.
Dip each chicken cutlet first into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
Next, press the chicken firmly into the almond flour mixture, coating both sides completely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the crusted chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. You are just browning the crust, not cooking through.
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Top each piece of chicken with a spoonful of low-carb marinara sauce, followed by the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Chef Tariq suggests using freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor in the crust.
Amara recommends serving this with a side of steamed zucchini or a simple green salad.
For extra crispiness, you can finish the dish under the broiler for the last minute, watching closely to prevent burning.
