Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with a little olive oil or cooking spray.
Place the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the chicken to the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, pressing down gently to coat both sides evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to complete your low-carb meal.
