Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb 450 g chicken breasts (approximately 2 large breasts), sliced into 4 fillets
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 1 pinch black pepper to season
Egg Wash
- 2 large eggs
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Coating
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup almond flour not almond meal
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create four evenly sized fillets. Season both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the seasoned chicken to the egg wash and allow it to rest while preparing the coating.
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and almond flour. Mix until evenly blended.
- Using tongs or a fork, remove one piece of chicken from the egg wash, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres. Shake off any excess coating. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
- Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
- Place two chicken fillets into the skillet and cook undisturbed for approximately 4 minutes, or until the coating is golden and set. Avoid moving the chicken during this time to prevent the coating from separating.
- Flip the chicken and continue cooking for an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining chicken fillets. Serve immediately.
