Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Pork rinds (crushed) - 50 grams
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Curry powder - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Vegetable broth - 150 ml
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Chopped green onions - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the chicken breasts by seasoning them with salt and pepper. Dip each breast in the beaten egg, then coat them in a mixture of almond flour and crushed pork rinds until fully covered.
3. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
4. While the chicken is baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional minute to bloom the spices.
6. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, then add the soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. To serve, place slices of chicken on a plate and ladle the curry sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
