Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Lightly spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This will help them cook evenly.
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
Next, dredge the chicken breast in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere evenly.
Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil to help brown the coating in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Phase One meal.
