Healthy Dinner: Baked Chicken (Paleo, Dairy Free)

In an effort to cook more often I discovered a new way to make chicken. (My usual way is to ask my husband to BBQ it, he does an awesome BBQ!)

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts (I buy organic from Whole Foods usually, about 1.5lbs)
Unsweetened almond milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil (I use a garlic infused olive oil from Trader Joes)
Almond flour

Directions:
  • Optional: Pound chicken
  • Soak chicken in almond milk for 10-15minutes. 
  • While the chicken soaks, preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Line baking dish with aluminum foil
  • Lightly coat olive oil in bottom of pan
  • Place chicken in pan and brush top with olive oil
  • Put salt, pepper, and seasoning on both sides of chicken (amount to your taste)
  • Sprinkle top of chicken with almond flour
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes
  • Turn down temperature to 350 and bake for until 10-20minutes, checking the middle to make sure it is cooked. 


Enjoy! Mine left a nice sauce in the pan created by the oil and juices from the chicken. I added roasted cauliflower and enjoyed with rice and veggies. The next day I added the leftover chicken to a big salad. The leftover sauce was perfect as a "dressing".
