Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing, keto-friendly
Instructions
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken thigh in the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to adhere well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken thighs.
Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, sliced avocado, and red onion.
Slice the crispy chicken thighs into strips and add them on top of the salad.
Drizzle with keto-friendly ranch dressing and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Crispy Fried Chicken Salad!
