• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chicken fillets on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken to an even thickness using a mallet or rolling pin.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

Step 5

Dip each chicken fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s completely coated.

Step 6

Transfer the chicken to the almond flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure the coating sticks well on both sides.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crumbed chicken fillets carefully.

Step 8

Sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.

Step 9

Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking tray.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of sugar-free dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
