Baked Almond Chicken Schnitzel

My family loves a good homemade schnitzel, but as the cook of the house, frying it in oil is not something I love to do very often, if at all. Here’s a really easy, healthy dinner that’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. Its chalked full of flavour and because its baked its super healthy. There’s no reason why healthy can’t be delicious as well. Enjoy my Baked Almond Chicken Schnitzel

Almond Chicken

The What

4-5 Chicken breasts

Almond Meal or Flour

Italian Seasoning

Himalayan Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

2-3 tbsp Coconut Oil - Melted

The How

Preheat oven to 350. Prep cookie sheet with foil and then a rack. Spray rack with cooking oil of choice

Using a soup bowl Mix Almond Meal/ Flour and Seasonings in a bowl, mix together with a fork to combine. I don’t measure, I just sprinkle a bit of everything in there till it looks good. You can get a bit creative here, you can even add some of your favourite spices if the spirit moves you.

Take a mallet and flatten the chicken breasts.

Melt the Coconut Oil in another bowl

One chicken breast at a time dip them in the coconut oil then coat in the almond mixture before arranging them on the rack.

Once all are done place rack in the oven for 30-35 mins. Once the timer goes off, turn the broiler on the oven and broil the chicken breasts until crust is crunchy and browned.

Enjoy!
