Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp tapioca flour
- 2 tsp basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- pinch sea salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups Whole30 marinara sauce
Cashew Cheese Sauce
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place chicken between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a meat pounder, pound chicken to 1/2 inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk egg. In another shallow bowl, add almond flour, tapioca flour, basil, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and salt.
- First, dip chicken in egg mixture. Coat on both sides. Then, place chicken in flours and seasonings mix. Coat both sides. Repeat for remaining chicken.
- Next, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through.
- Then, remove chicken from heat. Add marinara sauce to a large casserole dish and place chicken on top.
- To make the cheese, add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Next, top each piece of chicken with remaining marinara sauce and cheese sauce.
- Then bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Finally, remove from oven and serve! Top with basil if desired.
Notes
- Pound chicken to a 1/2 inch thickness. This helps with even cooking.
- Chicken is done cooking when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Blend cheese sauce until smooth and creamy.
- I suggest using boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
- Top with basil if desired.
