Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, cut in half and pounded ½" thick
• ¾ cup almond flour
• ½ cup parmesan, grated
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 egg beaten with ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Tomato sauce:

• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 24 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 Tablespoon sea salt

Topping:

• 6 slices of fresh mozzarella or 1 cup grated mozzarella
• 10 basil leaves, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Place a saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, and oregano. Sauté a few seconds until fragrant, add the tomato sauce and salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, mix together the almond flour, parmesan, and sea salt in a bowl plate. In the second bowl plate, beat the egg with the salt.
4. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Dip the chicken cutlets one by one into the egg mixture, and then dredge them in the almond flour mixture. Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan and fry cutlets in batches of two at a time until golden brown on each side (a couple of minutes per side).
6. Place the pan fried cutlets on a parchment lined baking sheet or in a 9" x 13" baking pan. Place a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese over the top of each cutlet, and bake for 6-10 minutes until cheese melts.
7. Serve immediately with tomato sauce, freshly sliced basil, and your choice of noodles.
