PaleYOLO: Baked Crusted Chicken

I got this recipe off PaleoPlan.com ... again! Here's the Crusted Chicken recipe directly off their website:

...BTW, this picture below is absolutely horrible. I'll explain why.

Ingredients

• 2-3 egg, beaten
• 6 Tbs water
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3 strips each

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Combine egg and water in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
3. Place nut flour on a plate, and mix in sea salt (optional) and black pepper.
4. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then pat moistened chicken in nut flour.
5. Coat chicken with flour on both sides. For thicker coating, repeat above procedure.
6. Place coated chicken on a metal baking sheet and bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until fully cooked.

My Variation:

• Stick with 2 eggs
• 1.5 - 2 cups of almond flour
• Proceed with any spices you want! I ended up using the advised amount of sea salt and black pepper, but I also topped the chicken (while on the baking sheet) with garlic powder
• 5-6 pieces of skinless and boneless chicken thighs (I get mine at Whole Foods)
• I did about 2 coats on each chicken
• Before placing the coated chicken on the metal baking sheet, line it with foil, and use ghee or extra virgin olive oil to avoid stickage (please refer to failed picture above)

So, the two things I learned from last night's fail... GO TO TOWN WITH THE SPICES AND USE FAT TO ANTI-STICK THE BAD BOYS! But, this was ABSOLUTELY delicious!

Okay, I really need to hit up Nom Nom Paleo's iPad app, because Marilyn bought it for me and I haven't used it, lol. I found some that are Stacy friendly :) So hopefully my next dish will be from there!
