Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Crushed pork rinds
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Olive oil or avocado oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, crushed pork rinds, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge them in the almond flour and pork rind mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a good coating.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Once slightly cooled, slice the chicken into strips and serve warm.
