This low carb recipe for almond coated chicken was so good, my kids all asked for seconds! The crunchy coating was something different, but still delicious.

2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp flour
2 Eggs

Cut each chicken breast in half. Place the half a breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or zip lock bag, and hit with a heavy rolling pin until breast is about 1/2 inch thick.

Place almonds in a blender, and chop until nuts are coarsely ground. Mix with Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Place in a shallow plate.

In another shallow plate place flour.

In a third shallow dish, mix the eggs.

Take each chicken breast, and dip into flour, eggs, and then the nut mixture. Place nut coated chicken onto a baking sheet. Cook in oven at 350F for 45 minutes.
