Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

2 tablespoons olive oil

1.5 cups keto-friendly marinara sauce (no added sugar)

4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Pound chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. It doesn't need to be cooked through.

Pour about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Place seared chicken breasts over the sauce in the baking dish.

Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over each chicken breast.

Top each chicken breast with slices of fresh mozzarella, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
