Ingredients
  • 2 (8 oz) chicken breasts, halved width-wise to create 4 thin cutlets
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • ⅔ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • ½ tsp apple pie spice
  • 4 oz goat cheese, at room temperature
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In one shallow dish, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water; set aside. In a second shallow dish, whisk to combine the almond flour and garlic powder; set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, working one at a time, dredge each piece of chicken first in the egg, coating fully, and then into the almond flour, coating well; transfer to the hot skillet and cook chicken 4-5 minute or until golden. Turn over chicken and cook an additional 2-3 minutes; transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for ~10 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the apples and cook for 5-6 minute or until softened. Add the apple pie spice and cook an additional 1-2 minutes; transfer to a bowl and mix with goat cheese to combine well.
  5. Remove chicken from oven; top with the goat cheese mixture and bake an additional 5-7 minutes. Serve hot.
