Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 optional Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs well.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, coating both sides, then into the almond flour mixture. Press the almond flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken cutlets in the skillet, without overcrowding, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Enjoy your Keto Chicken Milanese while it's crispy and hot.
