Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture. Press the almond flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure an even, well-coated layer on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the breaded chicken fillets, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the chicken fillets to the prepared baking sheet and finish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until fully 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 with your choice of low-carb sides or a fresh salad.
