Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 handful fresh basil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce I like Cucina Antica best

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet with 2 tablespoon of olive oil to medium-high heat.
  • Place your chicken breasts in a gallon-size bag and pound until about ½ inch thick.
  • Whisk the egg in a bowl. In another bowl combine almond flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Put one chicken breast in the egg bowl and coat with egg. Let excess egg drip off and then immediately put the chicken in the almond flour mixture. Then carefully place the chicken breast in the pan.
  • Repeat the above step for the second chicken breast.
  • Cook the chicken for about 5-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, put your marinara sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Serve your chicken over your favorite kind of pasta- gluten-free, grain-free or veggie pasta. Pour 1 cup of marinara over each chicken breast, top with fresh basil and enjoy!!
