INGREDIENTS
โข 1 pound (about 2) chicken breasts โข ยฝ cup almond flour - you can use store bought or make your own by grounding whole almonds in a food processor or high speed blender โข 2 large eggs, whisked in a bowl โข 1 tablespoon butter - replace with Ghee for dairy free โข ยฝ cup red enchilada sauce - personally I like the Hatch brand, itโs gluten free, vegan and made of clean ingredients โข ยผ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese - omit for dairy free โข ยผ cup diced onion โข Salt and pepper to taste โข 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped โข 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped โข Slices black olives to taste โข Green chilies to taste

4. Dip the chicken into the whisked egg and then press into the almond flour and evenly coat both sides.
5. Turn oven on to medium-high heat, and let the butter/ghee melt in the pan and coat the entire surface.
6. Lay the chicken down into the pan and brown on both sides, this should only take a few minutes on each side.
7. Donโt worry about cooking the chicken through, just brown the coating.
8. Once the chicken is browned (and youโll likely see some chunks of brown egg & almond flour mixture), turn off the stovetop and pour in half the can of enchilada sauce or the whole can if your prefer the dish more sauce-y. Be sure to coat each piece of chicken.
9. Sprinkle on the ยผ cup of diced onion, and ยผ cup of shredded cheese (omit the cheese for dairy free).
