  1. What is nut flour? Different than almond flour?

  2. No, almond flour is fine, there are several types of nut flour though, so just pick which you prefer.

  3. Should we just use chicken breast when it says 4 oz chicken?

  4. For me, I’ve found that average chicken breasts are close enough to 4oz that I use them interchangeably. I assume most people will as well.

  5. What does the “T” stand for in the water measurement?

  6. a large “T” in recipes stands for Tablespoon (and a small “t” stands for teaspoon)

  7. An upper case T stands for Tablespoon and lowercase t stands for teaspoon.

  8. I don’t think I did something right. The crust is just falling off of the chicken breast. Any suggestions?

  9. My attempt at this turned out anything but “crunchy”; we had to fry it in some EVOO for about 20 seconds to get some crispiness. There were still portions that had the flour plain white after 40 minutes.

  13. I made this the other night, turned out very good! After reading the reviews, I added some seasonings to the flour, then rolled the chicken in a little coconut after the flour, and browned it in a little oil before baking it. Made enough to have it for lunch, then grilled some shrimp and broke up the leftover chicken, topped it on a salad with strawberries & mango for dinner.

  14. I’m using the sample paleo plan meal plan to try out paleo for fun this week. I knew I would spend about 20% more than usual on groceries this week (on meat), so skipped buying the nut flour called for in this recipe. Instead, I used the unsweetened coconut flakes called for in the sample shopping list for another recipe. I also used finely diced ginger root (also called for for another recipe) and added that with the coconut flakes, along with salt and pepper. DELICIOUS. So, so good! Already looking forward to lunch tomorrow!
