Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast or pork loin
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by placing the chicken breast or pork loin between two layers of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the meat to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until smooth and homogenous.
Dip each piece of meat into the egg-and-cream mixture to fully coat it, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating firmly onto the meat to ensure it adheres properly. Repeat for the second cutlet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the breaded meat cutlets in the skillet.
Cook each side for 5-7 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the meat is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 145°F (63°C) for pork.
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as cauliflower mash or a fresh green salad.
