Yield: 2 servingsIngredients:
1/3 cup almonds
1 – 10 oz chicken breast
1 egg
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 fresh lemon
2 zucchinis
2 carrots
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a food processor or blender, process almonds until you have a powder/crumbs. Using a food processor, pulse about 30 seconds until almonds are broken down. Then process on high for another 60 seconds. Using the blender, you can probably process about 2 minutes until almonds are completely broken down.
- Add almonds to a plate. Break the egg onto a second plate, and scramble.
- Place a skillet over medium heat.
- Cut the chicken breast in half by slicing it down the length of it. Using a tenderizer, pound out both sides of each half.
- Take one chicken breast and coat completely in egg. Then, coat each side of the chicken in almonds. Repeat with the other chicken breast.
- Add olive oil to the skillet and coat the bottom.
- Then add both chicken breasts.
- Cook for 5 minutes on one side, then flip.
- While chicken is cooking, chop or spiralize zucchini and carrots.
- Slice the lemon in half. Cut one half into small slices.
- Once chicken is done, set aside on a plate.
- Add vegetables to the skillet.
- Squeeze half of the lemon onto the vegetables, and add the garlic salt and pepper.
- Stir until only slightly cooked down, about 2 minutes.
- Move noodles to one side of the skillet, and lightly brown the lemon slices on both sides, about 1 minute each side.
- Dress plates with zucchini noodles, then almond crusted chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
- Remove zucchini noodles from heat onto a plate.
