Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast to the almond flour mixture and press firmly to ensure the mixture adheres to all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat the coating process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Step 7
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated chicken breasts for a nice, golden finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
Step 9
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices settle within, ensuring a juicy bite.
Step 10
Serve the herb-crusted chicken with your choice of low-carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
