The Best Part
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F
- Combine almond meal, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix well
- Crack an egg into a small shallow bowl and whisk
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg bowl, wiped off any excess, and then dip into almond meal mixture. Roll until each individual piece of chicken is covered completely. Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a wire rack that fits on a baking sheet (wire racks make for a crispier texture)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through around 15 minutes. The chicken will be golden brown and cooked completely through when finished
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, top each chicken breast with 2-3 tablespoons of marinara, and 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese ( if you’re a fan of cheese add to your liking) return chicken to the oven, and bake for 5-10 more minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has that gooey melted irresistible look. That we all know and love. At this point, it’s up to you. Pair with broccoli, asparagus, or any of your favorite green vegetables, and enjoy.
