Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 4 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
• 1 cup Pork rinds, crushed
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, beat 2 eggs.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Step 7

For the waffles, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 eggs, almond milk, and chives.

Step 8

In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.

Step 9

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with non-stick spray if necessary.

Step 10

Pour a portion of the batter into the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is crisp and golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 11

To serve, place one waffle on each plate and top with a piece of baked chicken. Garnish with additional chives if desired, and enjoy!
