Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing each chicken breast fillet horizontally to form two thinner fillets for even cooking.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt to create the coating mixture.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined to create the egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each chicken fillet first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press into the almond flour mixture, coating thoroughly on all sides.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken fillets in the skillet, cooking each side for about 6-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil while keeping the breading crispy.
Step 8
Serve the low carb zinger fillets immediately with your favorite low-carb sides or a fresh salad.
