Herb Crusted Chicken Breast (PRINT RECIPE):
Serves 4

Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) organic skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic granules/garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 large egg white, lightly beaten
½ cup almond meal
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  (sub 1 teaspoon dried)
1 ½ tablespoons organic ghee
4 lemon wedges

Directions:

1. Trim the fat off each chicken breast and slice each breast in half lengthwise. You want to slice the chicken so that you are making two THIN pieces of chicken.*
2. Place each breast between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
3. Place almond meal, garlic powder, dried oregano, and sweet paprika in a shallow bowl/dish and mix to combine.
4. Combine Dijon and egg white in a separate shallow dish, whisking together well.
5. Working with one chicken breast at a time, dredge the chicken in egg mixture; allow excess to drip off, then dredge in almond meal mixture, turning to coat. Set aside on a separate plate. Repeat process for each chicken breast.
6. Evenly sprinkle your breaded chicken with salt and pepper.
7. Heat ghee in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4 minute, then flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
8. Turn the heat down to medium-low and place the lid on your pan, leave it a bit tilted. Cook the chicken an additional 2-4 minutes this way or until cooked all the way through. This chicken comes out juicy and tender on the inside and browned to perfection on the outside.
9. Turn off the heat, squeeze on some lemon juice, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
