6 small chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)

1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/3 cup extra parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
1. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness and season with salt.
2. Set up dredging station with whisked eggs and a separate bowl for almond flour/parmesan mix.
3. Coat chicken in eggs then the flour mixture to create a thick crust.
4. Sear in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
5. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Top each breast with marinara sauce and mozzarella slices.
7. Bake at 400 Fahrenheit for 12 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

Avoid pre-shredded cheese to ensure a better melt and fewer carbs.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding chicken to prevent a soggy crust.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven.
