Description
This easy dinner would be great for any weeknight or even weekend. It comes together quickly, and the variety of breading ingredients gives it a fun texture. Lemons are optional, but they add fresh flavor and are also pretty as garnish. I used Trader Joe’s almond meal and organic coconut flakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup almond meal
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/2” evenly flat
- 1 lemon cut into wedges, optional
- About 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat a large, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil.
While pan pre-heats, prepare chicken:
- In one large, flat bowl, stir together almond meal, coconut flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another large, flat bowl, lightly whisk one egg.
- Dip both sides of the chicken into the egg. Then, dip both sides of the chicken into the breading mixture to evenly coat both sides.
- Sauté chicken on both sides until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley.
