Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh dill
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Finely chop the fresh dill and place it in a shallow bowl. Add the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
In another shallow bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each piece into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well coated.
Press the egg-coated chicken into the dill and almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken and sear each breast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Whole30 dill crusted chicken!
