Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded into ½" thick pieces)
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 16 ounces marinara sauce (low carb with no added sugar)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prep and assemble all of your ingredients.
  • In a shallow bowl whisk an egg.
  • In a shallow bowl or a gallon-sized plastic bag, mix almond flour, parmesan, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
  • Dredge chicken in the egg then dip both sides into the coating. Set on a plate until ready to sear the chicken.
  • Add olive oil to an ovenproof skillet that has been preheated to medium-high. When the pan is hot, place each piece of chicken into the pan and sear for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
    (Tip: make sure your pan is hot enough that the chicken sizzles)
  • Turn chicken over and sear for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board and set it aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and saute spinach until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Cut the seared chicken into 1" bite-size pieces - be careful as it will still be warm.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan. Stir in marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix it all together. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake 375 degrees F for 20 to 22 minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked.

Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipe ideas that can be found in our post. Check it out! 😊
  • Make sure your skillet is hot before attempting to sear the chicken. Preheat the oil in the skillet before adding the chicken. The chicken should sizzle when you add it to the pot. If it doesn't sizzle, the oil and pan are not hot enough.
  • Cut your chicken into uniform pieces 1" for consistent cooking as it finishes off in the oven. When you go to cut the chicken, be careful as the chicken may still be quite warm.
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with a side of steamed, roasted, or "riced" vegetables. Anyone not following a low-carb diet will love it with a side of pasta or rice.
