Almond Parmesan Crusted Chicken & ZOODLES



Looking for a healthy substitute for Parmesan chicken...here it is!!

My coworkers were talking about chicken Parmesan this week at work and I was getting creative. I just kinda "wing-ed" this recipe tonight, who knows maybe it's out there somewhere, but I was excited to put it together!!

You will need:

5 chicken breasts
2 cups of freshly grated Parmesan for chicken mix
3/4 cup of finely chopped almonds
1 egg
1 cup of marinara sauce (we used organic pasta sauce)

2 large zucchinis

1.  Preheat the oven to 425F. 
2.  Shred Parmesan cheese. 

3. In a food processor, crush the almonds. (I buy slivers to make almond flower and I use my ninja - I think everyone should have one!!)

4. Mix your almonds and cheese. 

5. Crack an egg in a seperate bowl. Dip your chicken in the egg and then the cheese and almond mix. 

6. Bake chicken for 20 minutes. 
7. Pull chicken out. Put 2 Tbsp of Tomato sauce and sprinkle cheese on top of chicken. 
8. Put in the oven for 4-5 more minutes or until chicken has browned or cheese has melted to your desire. 


Zoodles Recipe:

1.  Use a veggie strip utensil to cut zucchini into strips. I used a veggie strip maker from Pampered Chef & I love it!! ❤️

2.  Pour 1 Tbsp of Olive oil in pan and turn heat to medium high. 

3. Place zoodle strips in the pan and season with desired veggie seasoning. We used Weber Veggie Grill seasoning. 

4. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes. 
5. Enjoy!!
