Ingredients
4 thinly sliced chicken breasts (or pound to flatten)
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup nutritional yeast
¼ cup coconut flour
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
3 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
1 cup Whole30-compliant marinara sauce (or more, as desired)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or skillet with parchment.
In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another, mix almond flour, coconut flour, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then coat in the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden (work in batches if needed).
Transfer seared chicken to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Spoon marinara over each piece.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce is bubbly.
Serve hot with veggies or over spaghetti squash.
