Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken breast in the almond flour mixture, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Lay the chicken breasts in the skillet without crowding them and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 9
In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 10
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any brown bits.
Step 11
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 12
Return the chicken to the skillet to heat through, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
Step 13
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Step 14
Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
