Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Trim any excess fat off the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring a full coating, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
