Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
In another shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the chicken breasts to the Parmesan-almond mixture, pressing the mixture onto each breast to adhere well.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Parmesan crusted chicken with your choice of low-carb side dishes, such as a green salad or steamed vegetables.
