Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, whisking them together until fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Dredge the coated chicken breasts in the herb crust mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the crust adheres evenly to all sides of the chicken.
Step 6
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve each chicken breast with a wedge of lemon. Enjoy your delicious Keto Herb-Crusted Chicken!
