Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup almonds
- 1 – 10 oz chicken breast
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 fresh lemon
- 2 zucchinis
- 2 carrots
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
