Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.
Press the chicken into the almond flour mixture, covering both sides well with the breading. Gently shake off any excess.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they start to turn golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each piece of chicken.
Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
