Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 1 cup Crushed pork rinds
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup Avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breast fillets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well blended.

Step 4

Dip each chicken fillet into the egg and cream mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Transfer the fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure it is thoroughly coated on all sides. Repeat with the remaining fillets.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. The oil should reach about 350°F, which you can test with a thermometer or by dipping the end of a wooden spoon into the oil; it should bubble lightly.

Step 7

Carefully add the chicken fillets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the coating is crisp and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot, optionally with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or a side salad.
