Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 lb. chicken tenderloin, diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 c. almond flour
  • 8 oz. mini mozzarella pearls
  • 2/3 c. marinara sauce
  • 10 oz. mixed salad greens
  • Optional: Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Drizzle the tomatoes with about 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Then, season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Roast on a lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, 1 Tbsp. of olive oil, salt, pepper, and almond flour. Toss until lightly coated. Next, heat 2-3 Tbsp. of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow chicken to cook on the first side until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. Then, flip and cook the other side until browned. You could also bake or air fry the chicken.

  • Top mixed greens with the chicken, roasted tomatoes, and cheese. Then, drizzle with the marinara dressing.
