THE ALMOND BREADED CHICKEN GOODNESS

THE ALMOND BREADED CHICKEN GOODNESS

THE ALMOND BREADED CHICKEN GOODNESS

Almond breaded chicken offers a delightfully crunchy and flavorful alternative to traditional breaded chicken, and it's perfectly suited for a ketogenic lifestyle. This recipe is not only delicious but also provides a good source of protein and healthy fats, helping to keep one feeling full and satisfied while supporting weight management. The almond flour coating crisps up beautifully, delivering a satisfying texture without the carbs associated with conventional breadcrumbs. Prepare to enjoy a family-friendly meal that's both guilt-free and incredibly tasty.

Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 500g

Almond flour: 1 cup (approximately 96g)

Grated Parmesan cheese: ¼ cup (approximately 25g)

Eggs: 2 large

Garlic powder: 1 tsp

Onion powder: 1 tsp

Paprika: ½ tsp

Salt: ½ tsp

Black pepper: ¼ tsp

Olive oil or avocado oil: 2 tbsp

Dried Italian herbs: 1 tsp

Cooking Instructions

    1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the almond flour adhere better. If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets for even cooking and a quicker cook time.

    2. Set up the breading station: In one shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In another shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    3. Bread the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the almond flour adheres to all surfaces.

    4. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

    5. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the almond breading is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

    6. Rest and serve: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on a wire rack to drain any excess oil. This will help keep the almond breading crispy. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

      Pro Tip

      For extra crispy almond breaded chicken, try double dipping the chicken in the egg and almond flour mixtures. This creates a thicker coating that crisps up even better.

      Variation

      Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the almond flour mixture for a little kick. One could also experiment with other keto-friendly cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar in place of Parmesan.

      Servings & Cook Time

      Servings: 4

      Prep time: 15 minutes

      Cook time: 15-20 minutes

      Serving Suggestions

      Serve the almond breaded chicken hot with a side of roasted broccoli, cauliflower mash, or a fresh green salad with a keto-friendly vinaigrette. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with a creamy avocado sauce or a lemon-herb aioli. Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor and visual appeal. The crispy almond breading provides a delightful contrast to the tender chicken, making it a satisfying and flavorful meal. Arrange the chicken attractively on a plate, alongside the chosen sides, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
