Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup ground pork rinds
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs. Set aside.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan, ground pork rinds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Transfer the chicken breast to the almond flour mixture. Press down lightly to help the coating adhere and ensure it's well covered. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

Step 7

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help retain juiciness.

Step 11

Serve the Keto Crunchy Chicken with your favorite keto-friendly sides such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
