Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the nutritional yeast, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Step 5
Press the chicken into the nutritional yeast mixture, ensuring each side is well coated.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help with browning.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
