Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and coating the paper with olive oil.
Chop the nuts finely, or pulse in a food processor.
Beat the egg thorougly and add to a shallow bowl.
If using chicken, pound the chicken breasts, tenderloins, or thighs -- your protein choice. To flatten, place chicken on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and use the flat side of a meat mallet to evenly pound each piece to 1/4 inch thick.
Dip each piece of chicken or fish in the whisked egg, followed by the nut mixture. Coat well. Continue until all chicken pieces or fish are coated.
Arrange nut crusted chicken or fish on baking sheet. Season with a pinch of salt on each serving.
Bake in an oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
