Low-Carb Recipe: Tomato Mushroom Chicken Skillet

This simple but tasty recipe is great for those on a low-carb diet, as well as those who need to avoid gluten. Breading the chicken with almond flour eliminates grain from the meal, while still allowing the chicken to brown nicely. This one is easy to throw together, but has a lot of nice flavors along with healthy veggies (good carbs) and protein.
