Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs with heavy cream until combined.

Step 4

Dip each chicken thigh first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, then into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side for another 3 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add butter over medium heat and let it melt, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Step 10

Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the broth slowly while whisking continuously to thicken the gravy. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the gravy is thickened to your liking.

Step 11

Serve the fried chicken hot, drizzled with the savory gravy. Enjoy your low-carb comfort meal!
