Description
This Almond Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a great way to get out of the boring chicken breast rut. It’s moist, full of flavor and has a dose of healthy fat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- ¼ cups Almond Meal
- ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- ½ teaspoons Paprika
- ½ teaspoons Oregano
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 whole Eggs
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Starting on the thick side of the chicken breast, make a lengthwise horizontal cut into the breast, stopping before cutting all the way through. Fold it open. Place the butterflied chicken breast in a zip top bag or between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it out on both sides with the flat side of a meat tenderizing mallet until it’s about ¼ inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
Combine almond meal, Parmesan, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Stir all the ingredients together. Whisk together the eggs in a separate dish.
Dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then into the almond meal mixture. Place on a sheet pan lined with a non-stick mat. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is golden brown and cooked all the way through.
