Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Butterfly the chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly and remain tender.
- Prepare the Breading:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream.
- Bread the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Then, coat the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat the avocado oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan generously.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
- Serve:
- Remove the cooked schnitzel from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Tips:
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to avoid a soggy coating.
- For a more intense flavor, you can add additional spices to the almond flour mixture, such as smoked paprika or dried herbs.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete keto-friendly meal.
