Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well combined.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until smooth.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge the chicken strips halfway.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Fry the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
