Start by preparing the chicken cutlets if they aren't already cut. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets. You should have four pieces total.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the two large eggs together to form an egg wash.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, making sure it's fully coated.
Next, press the egg-coated cutlet into the almond flour mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated. Press gently to adhere the breading to the chicken. Repeat this process with all the cutlets and set aside on a plate.
Heat coconut oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded cutlets to the skillet. Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the cutlets are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the keto breaded cutlets warm, with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or salad.
