Literally gonna make this tonight! Can. Not. Wait!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I hope you love them!

[@sunflowerglitter9233]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I just made it today and when I tell you this chicken is so delicious. 😊It’s amazingly good. It’s better than any restaurant chicken breast I’ve ever tried. I love that it’s gluten free since I’m gluten intolerant and the almond alternative to bread crumbs is brilliant. This really made my day. 😊 Thank you and God bless.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You’re a sweetheart. Can’t wait to try this recipe and others. I must compliment you for not talking with food in your mouth after you sample your cooked recipes. Drives me nuts when I watch the Food Network titans. You’re a classy gal.

[@candycec908]

What a clever way to add the crispness of breading without using bread crumbs! I will definitely ground up some almonds to try this delicious-sounding recipe.

[@suziekiehn5553]

Another winner winner chicken dinner. I made this tonight and it was deeeelicious. Thanks Louise. Yummy.

[@sassandsavvy007]

You can use leftover breading to make cheese-almond chips. set little heaps of it on parchment paper. backe them crispy in the oven. It spreads so best set the heaps apart. Thanks for the great video, best wishes from Bavaria 🙋🏻‍♀Lisa

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'd have to see if the crisps got up to a high enough temp to be safe since there could be chicken juices in the breading. However, I love the idea and might mix up almonds and parm just to try the crisps. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sassandsavvy007]

@@TheSaltedPepper Hithere, I've just "stumbled over" your video that popped up in my feed and really enjoyed watching you. How lovely we can be half a world apart and yet enjoy the "company". As to the crisps - if you are making a new batch and you like the flavour you could add a sprinkle of rosemary, but I think the almond/cheese combination will come out of the oven just fine and magically they vanish as soon as they have cooled off enough to be safe to eat. 😀 Nice to "meet you", I'll definitely watch more of your videos. Your presentation is as informative as it is charming and I write this with a big smile. Thank for replying to my comment, what a nice welcome to your channel. See you in your next video 🙋🏻‍♀

Good morning!

[@Reziac]

You can pan-fry or broil (or probably air-fry) your leftover Parmesan mixture, just make sure the surface is very nonstick, or use a little olive oil. Fried cheese is delicious! You can make it lightly browned or crispy-hard, whatever you prefer. You can also mix it with leftover liquid and make a fried biscuit. There will be no leftovers. :) This looks delicious. I've been using Parmesan as a coating on hamburger which is also good.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I never thought about that! I guess as long as the temperature gets past 165F it would kill any bacteria from the raw chicken.

[@Reziac]

@@TheSaltedPepper I do it all the time, because I hate waste. It gets very hot by the time the cheese is fried -- probably over 400 degrees.

[@richardnickell4116]

This looks really good. Serve with a Ceasar salad?

[@laurieoneal6644]

Louise can you do some speedie meals please

[@lindakiser1349]

Assuming I want to cook all four pieces of chicken for dinner, what suggestions do you have for keeping the first or second batch warm until everything is done? Thanks so much! I admire you so much, and appreciate your videos/recipes immensely?!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That's a great question and I might try to use the rack instead of the basket and then put the cooked pieces underneath on the bottom while the second batch cooks. Or, if you have the 8qt, use the double rack and switch them out halfway through so each has equal time on the top layer.

[@lindakiser1349]

What appliance was that u used to do the Almonds?

[@vitazgal9933]

Loved this....I'm seriously thinking of getting the speedy :) Do you think what looks like a vast amount of steam coming out (not in your recent video here...but others)...might set off smoke alarm? The Foodi does & I had to stop using it.... Also...would you tell me two things...What size and make are the mixing pans...they look perfect! What kind of mixer/chopper is that.... can't wait to try this... love your videos...just love them ! All ~! Thanks..

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much! I've never had any issues with steam setting off my smoke alarms, but I think the steam with the Speedi is less because it's not under pressure and there are more than just one vent in the lid. The pans I used are from Pampered Chef: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper/shop/Cookware+%26+Bakeware/Cookie+%26+Sheet+Pans/Modular+Sheet+Pans/100597 and the blender is this one (affiliate link) amzn.to/3QskVcQ

Hey Louise great recipe and instructions. Can you tell me where you got the item that you rested the chicken on when it was done?

[@jpfile319]

Thank you for the informative video. Sitting on the fence between the new OL701 vs. the Speedi. I know the Speedi cannot pressure cook and the capacity is 6 qt vs 8. But, can the Speedi also bake like the OL701?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, it has the bake function. It doesn't have a yogurt function though.

[@marciakrause353]

Are you going to do more recipes with the Ninja Speedi?

[@sallywilkerson3451]

What are your thoughts of using the speedi vs the Ninja pressure cooker with steam & crisp for this?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Either is fine, just use air fry. I did try using the steam & crisp setting and made risotto under the chicken and it worked fine, but not as crisp so to the steam.

[@cherylvl1036]

This looks so good! What spritzer do you use for oil? I have one from Pampered Chef that simulates an aerosol sprayer but I don’t really like it. Thanks

You know what taste better than almond? Use pork rind panko omg it's amazing better than any other breading I've used low carb.

Hi Louise, can you make yogurt with it using the dehidrate function? TIA!

You mean the Speedi? You can use dehydrate, but I think proof would be easier to use.

[@rolandgadue4351]

Is it ok to just preheat for 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes? Since it is a small unit 5 minutes should be fine

[@DesertILI]

Curious, why do you say to freeze them before bagging to freeze? I naturally haven't made these yet but with other items I haven't had an issue with going right to the vacuum sealer and then freezer.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

So the breading adheres to the chicken and not the bag

[@DesertILI]

@@TheSaltedPepper ah, ok. I was hoping it wasn't something like that. My freezer sucks for trying to put something like this into it before it's bagged. I'm going to have to do some rearranging.

[@julianagregnian3309]

Can you use almond meal which is already ground

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, but you won't have the chunks of almonds which I think are so good as a coating.

Hi, Where do you get the 2 small pans you used for the egg mixture and pecan mixture. I clicked on the link, but I didn't see them

They are these modular sheet pan pans, but honestly they were a little small for the almond/parm mixture.

[@dustyflats3832]

There seems to be too many models of appliances to keep up. I thought this video would use the latest Ninja pressure/fryer. Yes, the high level burns many things. What I’m finding, on what I guess they call the Foodie, is the meat is tough and dry. It must require marinading or more expensive cuts. I purchased a cookbook with latest Foodie, but disappointed in that they used boxed cake mixes and others like Mac/cheese or rice, etc. I try not to use processed foods, so great disappointment. Learning curves I guess. I do find it may be nice to not have to pull out each appliance, but need to find room for it because it’s as big as my electric canner. Still learning and hope I get the hang of it. The first model was the wrong model and returned it. They really should stick with one good model as they produced 3 that are almost identical. Makes me wonder if they can’t get it right. For the price I hope it lasts as well.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

There are different models and styles, but if the meat is tough and dry when using the Foodi it’s being over cooked or being cooked with a function that isn’t the best for that meat. picking the best function for the meat you are using is key. I’m happy to help if you want to email me. [e-mail]. This recipe is a simple air fryer recipe that can be made in any of the Ninja devices with air fry

[@dustyflats3832]

@@TheSaltedPepper lol, well the first 501? Model I followed directions and like you said the chicken would be too close. I had smoke and the chicken was too close. Then we cut pork chop in half and we had pork jerky. So I finally figured out the latest model had a thermometer and that’s the model I have now. It has helped, but still Leary of upper rack and I think the meat dries out too much because of closeness and air. Maybe I need to stick with pressure cooking or lower rack. Thank you for contact, I may do that in the future. Right now I’m working on garden preserving and tech stuff from a lightening strike a few weeks ago-Ugh!

Too damn long video a lot of bla bla bla and small talk. This isn't the 80's-90's anymore... 22 mins for a video that can be cut to at least 5 mins and still getting the point accross. Nothing wrong with the recipe just all the small talk isn't needed. I bet if you're more the point your channel will have even more growth.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Perhaps you are correct, but growth isn’t my goal, impact is. There are so many people who want to make great food, but are intimidated by it or think they can’t. In all of my videos I hope to connect with people and hopefully teach them something. There are tons and tons of creators doing short form video and that works great for viewers like yourself, but not for other viewers. Although you may not appreciate the longer videos, many people do and those are the people I want to reach. I do appreciate your input though and I hope you find the style of videos you are looking for. I do have a website with all of my recipes if you prefer the printed recipe: thesaltedpepper.com
