Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 0.5 inches using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dredge into the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the keto breaded chicken with your choice of low-carb sides, such as salad or steamed vegetables.
