Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
For the creamy herb dip, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, dill, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
