Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, nutritional yeast, dried parsley, garlic powder, dried dill, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, ensuring both sides are coated.
Dredge each chicken breast in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite Paleo sides or a fresh salad.
