Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, chopped parsley, rosemary, 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 they are well blended.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and then dip each piece first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Next, press the egg-coated chicken breasts into the herb crust mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crust adheres well.
Step 6
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the crusted chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
