Ingredients
- 2 whole (about 8 oz each) Chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken by placing each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Heat enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Step 7
Then press the chicken into the almond flour mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
Step 8
Gently place the coated chicken breasts into the hot coconut oil in the skillet. Avoid crowding the pan.
Step 9
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (73°C).
Step 10
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve the Keto Katsu Chicken hot. Consider pairing with a keto-friendly tonkatsu sauce or mayonnaise for dipping.
