Instructions
 

  • Cut the ends off the brussels sprouts and run a knife through them to shred. Set aside.
    1 12 oz bag of brussels sprouts
  • Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to about ¼ of inch thick.
    2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Whisk the egg in a shallow bowl to create an egg wash.
    1 egg
  • Mix the almond flour, poultry season, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, parsley, and salt.
    ⅓ cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon parsley, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Heat the coconut oil a large skillet over medium-high.
    1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then coat in the almond flour mixture. Add it to the skillet. Mine were so big once flattened I had to cook them one at a time.
  • Since they are pounded thin they will only take a couple of minutes per side. Just cook until firm and no longer pink in the middle.
  • While the chicken is cooking, cut up the bacon and add it to a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until it begins to render and crisp up.
    2 slices of raw bacon
  • Add the brussels sprouts to the skillet with the bacon and toss with a pinch of salt. Cook for a few minutes until warmed through.
  • Serve half the brussels sprouts with one of the breasts.
