Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Scallions
Instructions
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them in half horizontally, making them thinner and easier to cook evenly. Place them between two pieces of parchment paper and gently pound them to ensure they are of even thickness.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet.
Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Slice the chicken tonkatsu into strips and serve immediately, garnished with chopped scallions.
