Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 cup avocado oil (or coconut oil)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by gently flattening the chicken breast fillets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap. This will ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Dip each chicken fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it is thoroughly coated on all sides.

Step 5

Transfer the egg-coated chicken fillet into the almond flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to achieve a good crust. Turn to coat all sides, then set aside on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining fillets.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of almond flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated chicken fillets into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a side of your choice, such as a keto-friendly salad or steamed vegetables.
