Description

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free

Hemp seed recipes got an upgrade with this baked chicken crusted in a blend of hemp hearts, almond flour, and spices.  It is crispy and flavorful, the perfect protein to please the entire family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup hemp hearts
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp oregano (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. In one mixing bowl, whisk your egg.
  3. In another mixing bowl, combine your hemp hearts, almond flour, and salt.  Stir well.
  4. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray with avocado oil.
  5. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg, then in the flour mixture, then place on the cookie sheet.
  6. Spray each breast with additional avocado oil (this will help it crisp up!)
  7. Cook for 25 minutes.  Option to flip halfway through.  Then broil for five minutes until breading starts to turn golden brown.

Notes

Extra spices are optional, you don’t need them!  They just add flavor.  You can also use different spices if you like others better.
