Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.75 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Pork rinds, crushed
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- as needed Olive oil or avocado oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to both sides of the chicken. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil or avocado oil to help the coating crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb crunchy chicken!
