Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil (or any keto-friendly oil for frying)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Then, dredge the egg-coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down firmly so that the coating adheres well.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides or salads.
