Method
Preparation
- Pound 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
- In a shallow dish, whisk the large egg until well blended.
- In another dish, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each pounded chicken breast into the whisked egg, ensuring it gets fully coated.
- Transfer the chicken to the almond flour and Parmesan mix, pressing firmly to coat well on all sides.
Cooking
- Heat avocado oil (or olive oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place 2-3 coated chicken breasts into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- If more oil is needed, add another 1/4 cup avocado oil and repeat cooking with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes on the wire rack before serving to maintain crispiness.
Serving
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in a little lemon juice or your favorite flavors before breading. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
