Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, whisking them together until fully combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Dredge the coated chicken breasts in the herb crust mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the crust adheres evenly to all sides of the chicken.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve each chicken breast with a wedge of lemon. Enjoy your delicious Keto Herb-Crusted Chicken!
