Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken cutlets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the breading station. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.

Step 3

Lay the chicken cutlets on a cutting board and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 4

Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Next, press the egg-coated cutlet into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat both sides thoroughly. Repeat this process for all chicken cutlets, placing them on a plate.

Step 6

In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded cutlets to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Classic Breaded Cutlets warm with your choice of low-carb sides or salad.
