Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare a nonstick baking sheet by sprinkling 1 tbsp. of almond flour over it. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add the egg with 2 tbsp. water. Whisk together until frothy.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining almond flour with spices, salt, pepper & cheese. Sift together until mixed well.
Create an assembly line by lining everything in the following order - egg wash bowl, almond flour then sheet pan.
Dip a chicken breast into the egg wash, then immediately into the flour mixture. Coat the chicken generously with the mixture then shake off a bit before placing on the sheet pan. Repeat for remaining chicken breasts.
Drizzle the chicken with the extra virgin olive oil, dividing it evenly among the chicken breasts.
Bake 15 minutes then remove from the oven, add marinara sauce and spinach surrounding the chicken breasts.
Bake another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is crispy and slightly brown and the marinara sauce is bubbly. Serve immediately by drizzling each chicken breast with marinara sauce from the pan and spinach leaves.

Notes

Uniform Thickness: Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly thick for consistent cooking. Pound them gently if needed for uniformity.
Bake First, Then Add Sauce: Bake the chicken first to get that crispy coating, then add marinara and spinach for the final bake.
Store and Reheat: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, place on a baking sheet at 350°F for 15-20 minutes to maintain crispiness.
