Ingredients

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts: Slice them in half horizontally to create four even pieces.
1 cup almond flour: Provides a nutty coating that crisps up beautifully.
½ cup sliced almonds: Adds extra crunch and visual appeal.
2 large eggs: Beaten, to help the almond coating stick.
½ teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a savory touch to the chicken.
½ teaspoon paprika: Enhances flavor and gives a slight kick.
Salt and pepper: Adjust to taste for seasoning the chicken.
3 tablespoons olive oil: For pan-frying or brushing before baking.

Instructions

Start by trimming off any excess fat or sinew. Then, cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally. This step ensures even cooking and allows the coating to stick better.
Next, tenderize the chicken by lightly pounding each piece with a meat mallet. Aim for about ½-inch thickness for uniform cooking. Afterward, season both sides with salt and pepper to enhance the chicken’s natural flavor.
Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon paprika.
Coat the chicken evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper flavor, marinate overnight.
