Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1 pound) chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup almond flour

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breast fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Dip each chicken fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely covered.
Step 6
Transfer the egg-coated fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing it firmly on both sides to adhere the breading.
Step 7
Place the breaded chicken fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Drizzle olive oil over the breaded chicken fillets or spray lightly with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the breading is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Enjoy your low carb crispy breaded chicken fillets with your favorite low carb dipping sauce or salad.
