Description
A nutritious and satisfying twist on classic Chicken Parmesan, perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2–4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 (25-oz) jar of tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for zucchini)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them gently with a meat mallet until they’re about 1 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, mix together almond meal, chickpea flour, oregano, basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Drag each chicken breast through the olive oil, making sure to coat it well before pressing it into the flour mixture on both sides.
- Place the coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- In the meantime, heat a skillet over medium heat, add more olive oil, and sauté your zucchini noodles with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for about 3-4 minutes or until tender.
- Once your chicken is perfectly baked, spread a generous layer of tomato sauce over each piece and top with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- On a plate, serve your crispy chicken over the sautéed zucchini noodles, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
