Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh dill
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh dill and place it in a shallow bowl. Add the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each piece into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 5
Press the egg-coated chicken into the dill and almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken on all sides.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken and sear each breast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Whole30 dill crusted chicken!
