Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix them well to form the crust coating.
Step 3
Beat the eggs in another shallow dish.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Press the chicken breasts into the Parmesan and almond flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated on both sides.
Step 7
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the butter is foamy, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Step 9
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
