Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy.
Step 4
Take one chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it is well-coated on all sides.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast into the almond flour mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the mixture adheres well to the chicken. Turn to coat both sides thoroughly.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breast onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Repeat the coating process for the remaining chicken breasts.
Step 8
Once all chicken breasts are coated, drizzle or lightly brush them with olive oil on top to help them brown and crisp in the oven.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
