What a crazy couple of weeks it has been! My husband and I have more projects going than we should, we still have unopened boxes sitting in the living room, and Tracy delivered her little boy early on Friday. I told Tracy early last week I was planning on posting a new Almond Flour Chicken Parmesan recipe but had to tweak it just a little more before it was ready. When she had Oliver Friday I sent her a text saying I would bring it to her for dinner Sunday so she could test it out. Obviously I can’t speak for Tracy but she did send me a text last night that said, “Dinner was awesome!!!!”.
I went and saw Tracy Friday evening at the hospital and little Oliver was just perfect. She said things went very smoothly and her nipples were already raw from nursing. Most of us know that feeling all too well, right!? Seriously, that might be worse than delivering the baby in my opinion. Luckily it usually only lasts a few weeks. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of her and Oliver.
Remember that cure blanket I gave her in her New Baby Gift Basket!? SO CUTE!
This recipe is obviously NOT Whole30 as is, but I’m guessing it would be wonderful without the cheese if you’re currently doing a Whole30 round or even strict Paleo. I however have been enjoying a little cheese in my life lately and I’m loving it! I mostly use the Kerry Gold brand cheese from Costco but for this particular recipe I used the parmesan and mozzarella. I hope you enjoy this recipe and come back for more!

When I made this for Tracy and her family I used some of my frozen thin sliced chicken breasts and I think it worked really well! I let the chicken sit out for about 20 minutes before I coated them in the egg and flour mixture. It seemed to me that the almond flour stuck a little better this way.

This was SO delicious!! I followed your exact recipe and I don’t think it was too thick at all. It was nice and creamy and the flavors were great! My husband ate two bowlfuls and wanted more. We had plenty for leftovers. Thanks–this is a keeper.
