Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with heavy cream until combined.
Dip each chicken thigh first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, then into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side for another 3 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add butter over medium heat and let it melt, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the broth slowly while whisking continuously to thicken the gravy. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the gravy is thickened to your liking.
Serve the fried chicken hot, drizzled with the savory gravy. Enjoy your low-carb comfort meal!
