Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thinner cutlets.
• Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness using a meat mallet.

2. Make the Breading:

• In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
• In another dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream.

3. Coat the Chicken:

• Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
• Press the chicken into the almond flour mixture, coating both sides well. Shake off any excess.

4. Fry the Chicken:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Fry each coated chicken cutlet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer them to a baking dish.

5. Add Sauce and Cheese:

• Spoon marinara sauce over each piece of chicken.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake to Perfection:

• Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispy, golden cheese topping.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

• Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
• Serve with a side of zucchini noodles or a fresh keto-friendly salad.
