Looking for a recipe that will hit the spot and be efficient on time? Today we bring to you something that does just that!

High in protein. Deliciously tasting. This dish is a spin-off of the classic breaded chicken we all love. Made with a substitute of homemade almond powder, you’ll get a bit of crunch in every bite. We promise you won’t even miss the breading.

This is the perfect go-to entrée for anyone who is following a diet of gluten-free, or paleo.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Almonds Raw Unsalted
• 2 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

How to Make

• To make the almond coating, simply add the almonds to a food processor. Continue to blend until crumb-like powder forms. This will take about 2 minutes.
• Next, add the almonds to a plate. Then, break an egg in a second plate (stir to a smooth consistency).
• Heat your skillet to medium-high
• Add a bit of olive oil
• Dip one chicken breast into the egg on plate #2, then dip into the almond powder on plate #1
• Place on the skillet, and cook thoroughly.
• Set aside. Repeat with the second chicken breast.

There you have it! An easy, protein-packed and nutritious meal for the night.
