Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Crispy Fried Chicken Cutlets hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
