Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast to the almond flour mixture and press firmly to ensure the mixture adheres to all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the coating process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated chicken breasts for a nice, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices settle within, ensuring a juicy bite.
Serve the herb-crusted chicken with your choice of low-carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
