Ingredients
  

For the parma
  • 125 g skinless chicken thigh fillets

  • 1.5 tsp coconut oil extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 slice ham shaved
  • 20 g cheddar cheese

For the side

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
  2. Meanwhile, Crack an egg into a small bowl and whisk well. In a separate bowl, add the almond meal and season it well. Dip the chicken thigh into the egg and then toss it through the seasoned almond meal.
  3. Heat coconut oil in a large pan and fry chicken on both sides until lightly browned.
  4. Transfer the chicken from the frypan and onto a lined baking tray. Top the chicken with tomato paste, ham and cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  5. While the chicken parma is baking, bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add the broccolini to the steam for 5 minutes or until softened.
  6. To serve, combine the rocket and broccolini and top with the parma. Season well and enjoy!

Notes

If multiplying this recipe, you only need 1 egg for up to 3 serves – as it is only used to lightly coat the chicken.
