Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently 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, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked Milanese to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
