Ingredients
  

Chicken:

  • ¾ cup blanched almond flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 24 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts cut thin and lightly pounded
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided

Creamy Piccata Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium shallot diced
  • 4 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup capers drained
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped to garnish

Roasted Asparagus:

  • 16 ounce asparagus
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Gather and prep all ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 400F.
  • Trim and wash the asparagus. Season with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread asparagus over a baking sheet. Optionally line with parchment paper if needed. Once oven has pre-heated, place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the almond flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken with the almond flour mixture, coating the chicken as well as you can. Set aside.
  • Add half of the butter and olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Once butter is sizzling, add chicken to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Repeat this step with remaining butter, olive oil, and chicken breast. Once done, if needed, place the chicken into the oven with the asparagus to keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter for the sauce. Once melted, add in the shallot and garlic to sweat, about 2 minutes. Once shallot is softened, turn heat up to medium-high and add in the chicken broth. Allow mixture to boil and reduce by about half.
  • Once sauce is reduced, add in the lemon juice, capers, and heavy cream. Stir well, making sure to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Plate the chicken, asparagus, and pour sauce over as needed. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
