Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to adhere the coating.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 9
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
