Description

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 egg
• ½ cup almond flour
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• ½ tsp dried basil
• 3 Tbsp olive oil for frying
• 4 cups cooked spaghetti squash, well drained
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
• ½ Tbsp dried parsley
• 1.5 cups easy keto marinara sauce (or low sugar jarred sauce)
• 6 ounces fresh mozzarella
• Fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

• Cut the chicken into 2 inch pieces.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg.
• Combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried parsley in another medium bowl.
• Dip the pieces of chicken, one or two at a time into the egg solution and then the breading mixture - then remove to a clean plate.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick saute pan until hot. Cook the breaded chicken pieces on both sides until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Combine the cooked spaghetti squash, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley in a medium bowl and toss well to coat. Spread the squash out in a 8 x 12 (or equivalent) oven safe dish.
• Spread the cooked chicken pieces over the top of the squash.
• Spoon the marina sauce over the chicken and squash.
• Cut or tear the mozzarella into pieces and place them over the chicken.
• Bake in a 375 degree (F) oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve hot.
