Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 as needed olive oil spray

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly until smooth.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each piece of chicken into the eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, then press into the herb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Step 5
Place the herb-coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil spray to help them brown.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the herb-crusted chicken with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
