Ingredients

  • 2 8- ounce chicken breasts butterflied
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced into thin slices

Instructions

  • In a pie plate, whisk to combine the egg, garlic powder, pepper and Italian seasoning. In a separate pie plate stir the parmesan and almond flour together. Coat the chicken with the egg mixture and then with the parmesan mix. Let rest in fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. On the stovetop, preheat a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Add butter to heated pan and evenly distribute. Cook chicken for 3 minutes. Turn and top with marinara and mozzarella. Cook for an additional 3 minutes then place the pan in the oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and the internal temperature of 165° is reached.

Notes

To butterfly the chicken breast, place on a cutting board with the flat side down. Place the palm of your hand on top of the breast. Using a sharp knife, slowly cut evenly and horizontally through the breast, leaving the opposite side still attached by about one half inch. Once opened, the natural "heart shape" is revealed.
