Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Lightly spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This will help them cook evenly.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 6

Next, dredge the chicken breast in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere evenly.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil to help brown the coating in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Phase One meal.
