A simply satisfying chicken dish with a very flavourful crust and tender interior. Parmesan cheese and almond meal make a delectable combination for these bland and boring chicken breast.
- 3 tbsp Plain flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup Almond meal
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon zest, finely grated
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1-2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 500 g Chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- Sunflower oil
- Combine flour, salt and pepper on a large plate. Lightly whisk egg in a shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs, almond meal, lemon zest, Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper in a separate shallow dish.
- Lightly coat chicken with seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, finally the breadcrumb mixture, pressing crumbs on gently with your fingertips to coat.
- Fill a large skillet with oil up to 1cm deep and heat over medium flame until sizzling. Pan-fry the chicken, in batches, for 3 minutes each side or until just cooked through and lightly golden brown. Serve chicken with salad and lemon wedges.

Angie, this chicken looks amazing. I love this type of light breading and the addition of almond:)
I have almond meal on hand (use it for macarons) this is a great idea to use it for. How do you get your meats/seafood/poultry so perfectly and evenly caramelized or browned? Gosh that looks so good!
Cristina: Use heavy skillet or cast iron to shallow-fry, the crust would be evenly browned and more crisp. And don't crowd the pan, leaving enough space for the meat to get caramelized properly. Well, that's all I know. :-)
very nicely done love the crust on this chicken!
I haven't tried using my almond meal in a savory dish yet. Brilliant! Can't wait to try it!
What a perfect looking peice of chicken. The coating sounds wonderful.
I made similar chicken except i cut the breasts in small pieces; the friends who ate it still mention the crunchiness of the almonds; it is yummy and so simple to make.
The golden brown crust looks amazing! Almond meal? That's new. Is it liek ground almonds?
I can imagine this has such a great nutty cruchiness.
wow!! it looks inviting and soo perfect. I make Parmesan chicken just like this but without almond. This recipe sounds interesting, gotta try it next time.
cette escalope de poulet au parmesan et aux amandes est un pur délice

i prefer a nice nutty crust to the naturally crispy skin of a chicken--it just seems less barbaric and is certainly more flavorful. :)
