Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Lemon, wedged, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast to the almond mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the dill crust sticks to all sides.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. This helps the crust adhere to the chicken and enhances the flavor.
Step 8
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve each piece of Paleo Dill Crusted Chicken with a wedge of lemon for squeezing over the top, enhancing the flavors.
