Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 4 chicken breasts dry, then in a shallow dish combine 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 cups broccoli florets with 1 tbsp melted butter and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Spread on a baking sheet and roast alongside chicken for 12-15 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving with roasted broccoli.
