Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a bowl, mix together sharp cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the coating mixture.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, coating all sides.
Then, press the chicken breast into the cheese mixture, covering all sides completely. Ensure the cheese mixture sticks well to the chicken.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
