Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil or olive oil
Instructions
Begin by placing the chicken breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until they reach an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with the heavy cream until well blended.
Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well coated, then transfer to the bowl containing the flour mixture. Press down lightly to make sure the fillet is coated thoroughly on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the coconut oil or olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken fillets into the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining in the center.
Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy battered chicken hot with your choice of low-carb sides.
