This evening I made Almond Parmesan Crusted Chicken, mashed cauliflower (commonly known as "faux potatoes") with green beans and almonds. I really don't like the word "faux"...because it means fake....and there is nothing fake about mashed cauliflower mixed with a little cream cheese, butter, sour cream, parmesan and pepper...it is good. I snapped a couple pics of my meal below as well as the simple breading recipe I used for the chicken. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
1 package of 3 boneless chicken breasts (I used Perdue)
2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
Almond Parmesan Coating
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Eggwash
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk or half-n-half
Dash of cayenne
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Please chicken breasts between plastic wrap or in a Ziploc bag and beat with a meat mallet until flattened and uniform in thickness (about 1/4" to 1/2" thick). In a shallow bowl or dish, combine all the Almond Parmesan Coating ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine all eggwash ingredients and beat well together. Dip flattened chicken breasts in eggwash and then roll in coating mixture, coating all sides well. In a large non-stick skillet, add a couple tablespoons of olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil and heat until hot. Add coated chicken to the hot pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through on both sides. Place cooked chicken on a paper towel covered platter for a few minutes to absorb any excess oil.
