INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup asparagus

0.5 medium lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

  Prepare the breading station by whisking the egg in one shallow bowl and combining the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper in a second bowl.

• 3

  Dredge the chicken breast in the egg wash, then press firmly into the parmesan mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

• 4

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with half of the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet.

• 5

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown.

• 6

  Place the chicken skillet and the asparagus baking sheet into the oven. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and serve immediately with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables.
