Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Dip one chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then press it into the almond-Parmesan mixture to coat all sides thoroughly. Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Lightly drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the chicken (or spray with cooking spray) to ensure a crispy coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides, such as a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes.
