Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds blanched
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- salt to taste, Kosher
- black pepper to taste, Kosher
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 chicken breast sliced in half lengthways
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 medium broccoli head
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the almonds together with the seasonings into a food processor. Pulse until small chopped. Transfer the almond mixture to a shallow plate.
- Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli in salted water, for 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside in a bowl. Drizzle or spray with a bit of cooking oil.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off; Place on the plate with the almond coating and gently press to coat on both sides.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the chicken in batches until it begins to get golden then flip, for around 4-5 minutes in total.
- Once the chicken cutlets are all golden, gather them into the skillet. Add the blanched broccoli next to it.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cutlets are cooked through and no longer pink on the inside.
- Season to taste, if needed, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use boneless and skinless chicken thighs if needed.
- Any oil of choice will work.
- Use any other veggie of choice if you don't like broccoli.
- You may use frozen broccoli if preferred.
- Thin out the chicken breasts if you prefer.
- Easily double up on the recipe.
- Other nuts can be used like cashews, pecans, or walnuts
