Gluten-Free Shake and Bake Almond Chicken

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!

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ½ cup almond meal

  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine almond meal, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper together in a resealable bag. Put each chicken thigh into bag, 1 at a time; close bag and shake until evenly coated. Place chicken in a glass baking dish.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

This can also be made with chicken breasts.
