Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast cutlets, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (or avocado oil) for frying

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dredge stations: In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined and set aside.

Step 3

Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to ensure the cutlet is fully covered.

Step 4

Set each coated cutlet aside on a plate and repeat the process until all cutlets are dressed.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.

Step 6

Carefully add the chicken cutlets to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to fry in batches depending on the size of your pan.

Step 7

Fry each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 8

Remove the fried cutlets from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Let them rest for a minute or two before serving.

Step 10

Serve the crispy fried chicken cutlets hot, perhaps paired with a green salad or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
