Chicken "Parma"
Ingredients:
4 x 100-150g skinless chicken breasts (weight of chicken breasts will depend on if you are male or female)
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
150g almond meal (I didn't need to use anywhere near this much so maybe just pour out a little bit at a time onto the plate as you coat each chicken breast)
Zest of ½ lemon (I didn't have any lemons in the cupboard so didn't bother with this)
3 teaspoons butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
500g (2 cups) tomato passata
120g grated light mozzarella cheese
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180
2. Flatten chicken breasts and season with sea salt and pepper
3. Pour the almond meal on a plate and add the lemon zest. Coat each chicken breast with the almond meal mixture.
4. Heat the butter and olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and reduce the heat. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for another six to eight minutes. Drain on paper towel
5. Transfer the chicken to a glass or porcelain baking dish. Pour over the tomato passata. Sprinkle with cheese and place in the oven.
6. Bake for about 10 minutes or until bubbling. Serve with a green salad or veggies of your choice
