Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 0.5 inches using a meat mallet.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dredge into the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the keto breaded chicken with your choice of low-carb sides, such as salad or steamed vegetables.
