Equipment
- Oven
- baking sheet
- mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Meat Mallet
Ingredients
Chicken Coating
- 2 lbs skinless chicken breasts about 4 pieces, pounded evenly
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup parmesan cheese omit or substitute with nutritional yeast if dairy free
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs whisked
Sauce and Topping
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded, use dairy free mozzarella if needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet or 9×13 dish with parchment for easy cleanup. Pound chicken breasts to about ½ inch thick so they cook evenly.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, parmesan (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash then coat in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly so it sticks.
- Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 18–22 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp).
- Remove from the oven, spoon marinara sauce over each cutlet, and top with mozzarella.
- Return to oven and bake 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To freeze, bake chicken without sauce/cheese, freeze, then add sauce and cheese before reheating. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or use the microwave for a quick option.
