Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice them horizontally into thin cutlets. You should get about 4 pieces from each breast.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs together until well beaten.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly to make sure it adheres well.
Step 6
Carefully place each coated chicken cutlet into the hot oil. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 7
Fry the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the cooked cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining cutlets.
Step 10
Serve hot, and enjoy your low carb crispy fried chicken cutlets with your favorite sides.
