How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups almond flour crackers (we recommend Simple Mills)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Rinse and pat the chicken dry. Slice each breast in half vertically to make 4 thinner cutlets.
- Step 3: Pulse the crackers in a food processor until they reach the texture of fine breadcrumbs. It should make about 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Stir together the crumbs, parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Spread half of the crumb mixture onto a plate.
- Step 4: Prepare an assembly line with the chicken cutlets, olive oil in a plate, and breadcrumb plate. Coat the chicken on all sides in the olive oil, letting the excess drip off. Then dip it into the seasoned breadcrumbs, covering completely. Transfer the breaded chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding more crumbs onto the plate if needed.
- Step 5: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, gently flipping over halfway through the cooking time. The chicken will be done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the juices run clear.
- Serve: Top with the remaining parsley and a squeeze of optional lemon. Enjoy. Any leftover crumbs that did not touch the raw chicken can be refrigerated for several days.
