This is an old SAD recipe I used to make all of the time and now keto-fied. Some might recognize a riff on a Barefoot Contessa recipe (Ina Garten is my spirit animal). It’s outstanding. It will scratch your breaded chicken itch but with a punch of flavor you don’t expect. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup(s), Heavy Whipping Cream (I use this)
- 0.5 cup(s), Dijon Mustard (I use this)
- 4 8oz chicken breasts, bone-in skin-on
- 1.50 cup, Almond Flour (I use this)
- 0.25 cup(s), Olive Oil (I use this)
- 1 lemon (zest only)
- 1 tsp, Thyme (I use this)
- 1 tsp, Organic Black Pepper (plus extra for seasoning) (I use this)
- 1 tbsp(s), Garlic Salt (I use this)
Tools:
- Food Processor (I use this)
- Micro-plane (I use this)
- 3qt or 4qt Glass baking dish (I use this)
- Gallon Ziploc Bag (I use this)
- Glass measuring cup (I use this)
- Measuring cups and spoons (I use this)
- Aluminum foil (I use this)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Combine the heavy cream and mustard until silky and pour over the chicken breasts in a heavy zip lock bag. Marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a food processor, pulse almond flour, lemon zest, thyme, pepper, and garlic salt until mixed. Add olive oil and short pulse until just combined and crumbly. Do not over combine or it’ll be pasty.
- Brush olive oil in your glass dish to keep the chicken from sticking. Place the breasts in the dish (shake off any excess marinade but allow a film to stay on it). Chicken breasts will likely be crowded and that’s okay! Cover the breasts with your thyme crumb mixture completely – press down gently to stick.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the crumb is lightly browned. Pull the chicken from the oven and cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes in the glass dish.
- Enjoy!
