Almond Chicken Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, place the almond flour. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat with almond flour.

Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- 3
Cook the Linguini
While the chicken is baking, cook the linguini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- 4
Make the Herb Cream Sauce
In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, add heavy cream, chopped parsley, and basil. Bring to a simmer, then stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Combine and Serve
Toss the cooked linguini in the herb cream sauce until well coated. Serve the almond crusted chicken on a plate alongside the linguini.
