Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Cut each breast in half horizontally to make four thin fillets.
Step 2
Place the chicken fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In one shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until combined.
Step 5
Dip each chicken fillet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then into the almond flour mixture. Press the almond flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well. Repeat with all pieces.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Step 7
Fry the chicken schnitzels in batches if necessary, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the chicken schnitzels from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzels.
