Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breast fillets to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Then, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken into the hot skillet. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

To ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked, the internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the chicken fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or salad.
