Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Olive oil or coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting each chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces to ensure quicker cooking and even coating.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended to create the low-carb coating.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined. This will act as the binding agent for the coating.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is coated completely. Let any excess drip off before transferring it to the almond flour mixture.
Step 5
Firmly press the chicken into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat thoroughly on all sides. Repeat for all chicken pieces and set aside on a plate.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or coconut oil over medium-high heat. Make sure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet completely.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or side.
