Make

Prepare breading stations - In one shallow dish, whisk eggs. In another shallow dish, combine almond flour / meal with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in garlic, arrowroot powder, and stock. Simmer until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper. Set sauce aside and wipe out pan.
Return pan to medium-high heat and add second part of cooking oil. Working with one piece of chicken at a time (do this in batches if it won’t all fit at once), dip chicken in eggs and then in almond flour / meal.
Place chicken in heated oil and cook on both sides until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes total.
Transfer chicken to a serving plate and pour sauce over top. Top with red pepper flakes if you’d like.
Toss together spinach, dried cranberries, and almonds. Add vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
Serve chicken with salad on the side. Enjoy!
