Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh grated
  • ½ cup Almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

Instructions
 

  • Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make four fillets. Season both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Season the mixture lightly with salt and pepper for added flavor.
  • Place the seasoned chicken pieces into the egg wash and let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, combine fresh grated parmesan cheese and almond flour.
  • Take each marinated chicken piece and dredge it in the parmesan mixture. Press firmly to ensure the coating adheres well.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.
  • Fry two pieces of chicken at a time for about four minutes without moving them. Flip them over and cook until fully done.
  • Optionally, you can use an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) and air fry the chicken for seven minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve the crispy parmesan crusted chicken alongside buttery cauliflower mash.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for a superior crust and let the chicken rest after frying to allow juices to redistribute.
  • Adjust seasonings to your taste and monitor cooking temperature for optimal results.
