Delicious Almond Crusted Chicken Recipe for a Mediterranean Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup almond flour (or ground almonds)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Coating

    In a bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano.

    Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
  3. Dredge the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the almond mixture.

    Press the mixture onto the chicken to adhere better.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the coated chicken breasts on a lined baking sheet.

    Leave space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle olive oil over the chicken for added moisture.

    Olive oil helps to crisp up the coating.
  6. Bake the Chicken

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

    Check doneness with a meat thermometer (165°F or 75°C).
  7. Serve

    Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
