Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together sharp cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the coating mixture.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, coating all sides.
Step 5
Then, press the chicken breast into the cheese mixture, covering all sides completely. Ensure the cheese mixture sticks well to the chicken.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
