Ingredients

• 2 large Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by placing the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Carefully slice each breast in half lengthwise to create two thinner cutlets from each breast.

Step 2

Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, crack and beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 5

Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, then press into the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Shake off any excess.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

As you cook the cutlets, avoid overcrowding the pan. If necessary, cook in batches and add more oil if the pan becomes dry.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy as a main dish with your favorite low-carb sides, such as sautéed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
