Can almond flour be used in recipes that call for meat to be dredged or
breaded in flour?

I wouldn't. Nuts taste very bad if they've been overcooked. But you
can try it and see.

What would almond flour be used for? And what type of low carb item can be
used as flour substitute for this purpose?

I would use it for baking instead of frying-- pie crusts, cookies,
etc. You can use several different things for 'breading' but the one
most raved about here is parmesean. I personally like ground pork
rinds for breading most meats. It makes a very crispy beautifully
golden color and you don't notice any porkrind flavor at all.

You can mix parmesean and pork rinds, too. And the flavored rinds make a
nice seasoning on "breaded" meats.

I'll second that. We use it for baked pork chops and
chicken breasts.

You can't use almond flour as a one to one exchange for any wheat flour.
Nuts have properties that wheat flours don't, and vice versa.
If you use recipes designed for nut flours for awhile, you'll pick up on
how they best behave when cooked different ways.

I breaded some turkey breast steaks in ground hazelnuts the other day and it
was delicious. I should think almond would be the same.

I have used it to bread chicken strips and then fry and they turned out very
nice. I watched them closely. Made the chicken strips a nice golden
brown--tasted good, too. I se it for baking, as well. I wouldn't havethe
oil too hot -- could burn the coating and leave the inside uncooked.

A hotel that I managed years ago in NC had a restaurant menu that featured a
dish called "North and South Porkchops." It was simply thick porkchops
lightly browned in oil, then coated with maple syrup and dredged in ground
pecans and baked. Absolutely delicious. I see no reason why this wouldn't
work with SF maple-flavored syrup and almond flour!

Chicken is very good dipped in egg and rolled in finely chopped pecans. I
season them first with a little Dijon mustard. This recipe came from a
restaurant in Columbus Ohio long before the low carb craze!

There's an Asian dish, Thai I think, where you roll the chicken in
sesame seeds.

How do you cook the chicken after coating it?

Just fry it in some canola oil in a frying pan. What I use is a boneless
chicken breast flattened slightly to help cook it evenly. Watch it to make
sure it doesn't burn and enjoy!

Hmm. I'd worry about it being dry, so I might deglaze the pan afterwards
and make some kind of a sauce to pour over the chicken. You've got the
culinary wheels turning in my head. ;-)

Or use boneless thighs. More moist, meatier. And if you brine first
for a couple hours, it's heavenly.
