Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup ground pork rinds
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 slices sugar-free pickles
- 2 pieces keto-friendly buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thin cutlets. Pound them gently if needed to ensure even thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, ground pork rinds, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with heavy cream until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to help it adhere.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets.
Step 6
Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Lightly toast the keto-friendly buns in a clean, dry skillet.
Step 9
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on each half of the toasted buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the fried chicken, sugar-free pickle slices, and top with the other half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly KFC-style fried chicken sandwich.
