Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water until well combined.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure to coat it completely, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture. Press the almond flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the keto crumbed chicken with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or salad.
