Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 large heads of curly kale
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup cashews
• ¼ cup pine nuts
• 3 Tbs lemon juice
• 2 Tbs mild white miso
• 1.5 tsps sea salt
• LOTS & LOTS of fresh cracked pepper, the more the better!
• 4 cloves garlic
• 4 drops liquid stevia
• ½ cup water
• 2-4 organic, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour – you could also use coconut flour or leftover almond pulp from making homemade almond milk!!
• 1 Tbs spices of choice, for this recipe I used organic steak seasoning and herbs de provence to give it a more intense flavor.
• sea salt & black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. For the Almond Crusted Chicken you’ll need to Preheat oven to 425 deg, line a large baking sheet with foil, and set aside.
2. You will need 2 large bowls. In the first bowl, add your almond meal, salt, pepper, and spices and mix thoroughly.
3. In a second large bowl, crack 1 egg and beat with a fork or whisk until combined.
4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture and coat both sides. Then dip the coated chicken into the almond meal mixture, coat both sides and place on a large baking sheet lined with foil.
5. Bake at 425 for about 20mins or until browned on the outside and cooked through.
6. For the dressing combine the cashews, pine nuts, lemon juice, miso, sea salt, LOTS & LOTS of fresh cracked pepper, 4 cloves garlic, stevia and water into a blender.
7. Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. I use a Vitamix. If you don't have a high speed blender, you could also use a food processor. Adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice as needed
8. Pour dressing into your ziplock bag with the kale and shredded carrots.
9. Seal your ziplock bag and shake vigorously until the dressing and vegetables are well combined.
10. Pour your Ceasar Salad mixture onto a large plate, place 1 sliced chicken breast on top and serve immediately.
