Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Transfer the cooked Milanese to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
