Time 1h37m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
½ yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
¼ cup water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets
1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¾ cup almond meal
¼ cup tapioca flour
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 eggs
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in crushed tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and stir in tomato paste.
  • Fill empty tomato paste can with hot water; stir with a spoon to release any tomato paste left in the can. Pour into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon basil, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer sauce until flavors combine, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cover and keep warm.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breast cutlets between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Mix almond flour, tapioca flour, 2 teaspoons parsley, 1 teaspoon basil, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano together in a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken cutlets in whisked eggs to coat both sides. Dredge in almond flour mixture on both sides.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets in batches until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Cover a large baking pan with a thin layer of tomato sauce; arrange chicken on top. Spoon some sauce over each cutlet. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
