Ingredients in Whole30 + Keto Rosemary Almond Crusted Chicken

There’s obviously rosemary and almonds, which you grind up into a crumb using your food processor.

Then you toast it all in a skillet with ghee, shallots and pork panko.

Using Other Nuts

You could really substitute any nut for almonds. I’ve made this before with walnuts, pecans, even pistachios! Whatever nut I have on hand. But I must say, almonds are my favorite. Can’t beat that crunch!

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with the oven rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, chop the almonds and rosemary until they resemble course crumbs. Set aside.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ghee, then cook the shallot until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the rosemary almond mixture, pork panko, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown. About 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
  • Set up your dredging station. Have 1 plate with the almond flour, another plate with the beaten eggs, and the 3rd plate with the toasted rosemary almond mixture. Dredge the chicken in the almond flour, then in the egg, then in the rosemary almond mixture. Press well to adhere the rosemary almond mixture to the chicken. Transfer the chicken to the parchment lined baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Bake the chicken in the oven until the internal temperature is 165 degrees, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
