Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 optional lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, chopped dill, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres properly.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Then, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating stick and cover the chicken evenly.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
