GLUTEN-FREE SHAKE AND BAKE ALMOND CHICKEN



Gluten-Free Shake and Bake Almond Chicken image

This is my go-to recipe when I'm in a hurry. It's so easy, and yet so good. Because of the coating, the chicken is always extra juicy. Kids can't tell they're nuts (looks like breading) and love it. It's healthy (and grain-free for those with allergies). Everyone asks me for the recipe...that's my cue to add it to Allrecipes!

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl to coat the chicken pieces in the almond flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  • For a crispier texture, double-coat the chicken by repeating the coating process.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until fine.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken, allowing enough space between each piece to prevent overcrowding.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, flipping the pieces halfway through the cooking time.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free shake and bake almond chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. The almond flour coating gives the chicken a crispy, flavorful crust, while the chicken itself remains tender and juicy. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish for a complete and satisfying meal.
