Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup crushed pork rinds
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 large egg
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil or coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, crushed pork rinds, and grated parmesan cheese. Add paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, then stir well to combine.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until mixed thoroughly.

Step 4

Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Next, press the chicken breast into the dry mixture, making sure all sides are well-coated with the mixture.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat olive oil or coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Transfer the fried chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for another 6-8 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the zinger fillets rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot, paired with a side salad or keto-friendly dipping sauce.
