Recipes Meat and Poultry Chicken Chicken Thigh Recipes Gluten-Free Shake and Bake Almond Chicken 4.4 (66) 53 Reviews 15 Photos This is my go-to recipe when I'm in a hurry. It's so easy, and yet so good. Because of the coating, the chicken is always extra juicy. Kids can't tell they're nuts (looks like breading) and love it. It's healthy (and grain-free for those with allergies). Everyone asks me for the recipe...that's my cue to add it to Allrecipes!

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings ½ cup almond meal 1 teaspoon ground paprika 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine almond meal, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper together in a resealable bag. Put each chicken thigh into bag, 1 at a time; close bag and shake until evenly coated. Place chicken in a glass baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes.
