Ingredients

1 cup red lentils

1/2 cup almond flour

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced in half to make 8

Olive oil cooking spray

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce

1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Garnish: torn basil leaves

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with olive oil spray. Place lentils in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add flour, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the lentils and pulse until blended.

 

Transfer flour mixture into a shallow bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.


Place chicken on baking sheet. Lightly drizzle more oil on top of the pieces and bake in oven until cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Top with ttomato sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan and return to oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling. Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh basil on top.
