I was really pleased with this recipe. I use almond "flour" alot in my cooking due to the low carb lifestyle my husband and I follow. I followed the recipe to the T however; used a beaten egg to dip the chicken rolls in prior to rolling them in "breading" to help adhere the "breading" mixture since almond flour doesn't have the same weight and texture of regular wheat flour. I cooked the chicken for 45 minutes rather which is probably due to the thickness of my meat and the size of each flattened piece of chicken. The chicken was very moist! I plan on varying this recipe such as using cream cheese as the binding agent, I think the options are limitless. Thank you so much for this recipe! Made for PAC Spring 2011.
