Pat dry the chicken breasts.

Butterfly the chicken breasts for even cooking.

Mix equal amounts of parmesan cheese and protein powder in a bowl for breading.

Add pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt to the breading mixture and mix well.

Whisk an egg in a separate bowl for the egg wash.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then coat it with the breading mixture, using a spoon to help coat it evenly.

Heat oil in a skillet for shallow frying, about 1 inch deep.

Fry the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

While the chicken is frying, prepare the marinara sauce by adding a little water to thin it out, and season it with oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Taste the sauce and add a teaspoon of sweetener to balance the acidity.

Once the chicken is cooked, place it on a plate and pour the marinara sauce over it.

Top with cheese and garnish with basil.
