Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with olive oil.
Step 2
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then press it into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat both sides well. Shake off any excess coating.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the chicken.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Step 8
Let the chicken schnitzel rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
