Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup pecorino Romano, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 tsp dried Italian herbs, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder; mix until evenly blended.
  3. Step 3: Dip each chicken breast into the mixture, pressing firmly to coat all sides, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tops of the chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil and bake for 20-22 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
  5. Step 5: While chicken bakes, melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Step 6: Remove chicken from oven, drizzle with the garlic herb butter, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
