Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix them well to form the crust coating.
Beat the eggs in another shallow dish.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Dredge each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Press the chicken breasts into the Parmesan and almond flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated on both sides.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter is foamy, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
