Make
- Combine almond flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Heat a skillet with cooking oil over medium heat.
- Coat each piece of chicken in almond flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place chicken in heated oil and cook on both sides until golden brown, ~2 minutes per side.
- Set chicken aside and return pan to heat. Add apricot glaze and bring to a simmer. Simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until sauce thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add chicken back to pan and turn to coat in glaze. Continue cooking in glaze until cooked through, ~3 minutes more.
- Just before serving, toss figs, avocados, mixed greens and almonds in balsamic vinaigrette.
- Serve chicken with salad on the side. Enjoy!

This is a tasty meal — I added a tablespoon of orange marmalade to the apricot glaze, which gave it more of a “glaze” consistency.
0 HelpfulReally liked this chicken and the salad was amazing! I used grapes instead of figs, otherwise made everything the same.
0 HelpfulI used grapes instead of figs, and I was out of maple syrup and subbed it out for honey. Delicious!
0 HelpfulApricot vinaigrette is phenomenal. Made with goat cheese and added avocado. Couldn't find figs.
