Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the chicken fillets on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken to an even thickness using a mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each chicken fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s completely coated.
Transfer the chicken to the almond flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure the coating sticks well on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crumbed chicken fillets carefully.
Sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sugar-free dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
