Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Dip one chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then press it into the almond-Parmesan mixture to coat all sides thoroughly. Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken breasts.
Step 6
Lightly drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the chicken (or spray with cooking spray) to ensure a crispy coating.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve with your choice of sides, such as a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes.
