Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well coated, and then press into the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, making sure to cover the chicken entirely with the almond flour mixture.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Chicken Milanese hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the top before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
