This was dinner last night. Almond crusted chicken with avocado, baked applesauce and roasted asparagus. Completely paleo using almond flour. I was so satisfied at the end because it tasted REALLY good and was so filling. I have been into efficiency lately and that causes me to eat boring food...something that sets me up to eat crap later. You see, if my healthy food becomes monotoneous (same five flavors), eating clean seems undoable in the long term.

Here's the recipe:

Almond Chicken

1 egg beaten

1/2 cup of almond flour

salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and basil (you decide the amounts)

chicken cutlets - yes, they even make the good kind this way

Prepare two bowls. One has the beaten egg in it. The other has your spices and almond flour mixed together. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon to tablespoon of coconut oil and let heat (use olive oil if that is what you have). As it heats, coat the chicken with egg and then the flour mixture. Make sure both sides are coated.

Cook about 4 minutes on each side - or until coating is golden brown. The chicken is thin enough that it should be cooked through. Plate it up with your favorite veg and fruit and add sliced avocado on top...eat a little avocado with each bite of chicken - YUMMY!

You can also turn this into a chicken parm recipe by serving it over spaghetti squash with marinara...oh wow! I may have to try that variation next time!

Mange!
