Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by placing the chicken breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the two eggs and add the water. Whisk together until smooth to create the egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat it with the almond flour-Parmesan mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cutlets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the outside is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the cutlets immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired. They pair well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
