Instructions

Lightly whisk the egg and water in a shallow bowl. Combine the almond meal, Parmesan and basil on a plate. Season the chicken. Dip 1 chicken piece in egg, then almond meal mixture, pressing to coat. Transfer to a lined plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken, egg wash and almond meal mixture, pressing to coat well.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Reserve 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Add remaining tomato sauce to pan and bring to the boil. Add the zucchini and simmer for 2 minutes or until just starting to soften. Remove from heat.
Preheat oven grill to high. Return chicken to pan. Spoon over reserved tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is golden. Sprinkle with extra basil.
