Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Start by placing the chicken breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
In another bowl, beat the two eggs and add the water. Whisk together until smooth to create the egg wash.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat it with the almond flour-Parmesan mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cutlets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the outside is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cutlets immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired. They pair well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
