Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Pork rinds, crushed
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a separate shallow dish, beat 2 eggs.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
For the waffles, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 eggs, almond milk, and chives.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with non-stick spray if necessary.
Pour a portion of the batter into the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is crisp and golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve, place one waffle on each plate and top with a piece of baked chicken. Garnish with additional chives if desired, and enjoy!
