Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to an even thickness, about 0.5 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well blended.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres to the chicken.
Step 5
Heat olive oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts in a single layer.
Step 6
Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove chicken from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb sides.
