Directions
Step 1
Preheat the 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, crushed pork rinds, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to both sides of the chicken. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil or avocado oil to help the coating crisp up.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb crunchy chicken!
