This low carb keto chicken cutlets are crispy on the outside and tender juicy from that is baked or pan fried can be made in under 10 minutes and perfect for your easy keto dinner.
Let’s get started
– 1 pound chicken breasts (about 2-3 chicken breasts), pounded to ¼ inch (0.5cm) thickness – 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning – Salt and pepper – 2 eggs – 1 cup grated parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup almond flour or panko breadcrumbs – 3 tablespoons olive oil (butter or avocado oil)
Season the chicken pieces with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Take a shallow bowl and combine the parmesan cheese and almond flour. In another shallow bowl whisk the eggs.
Dip the chicken breasts (one at a time) into the egg mixture then place it into the parmesan bowl, shake off the excess. Repeat the same for the remaining chicken cutlets. Heat a large non-stick pan or heavy-duty pan over high heat, add oil or butter.
Once hot, add chicken cutlets in a single layer and fry for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining chicken cutlets. Done! Serve with roasted veggies or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Almond Flour – Use almond flour, or substitute with coconut flour or use a combination of both (1/4+1/4 cup) Parmesan Cheese – Always use freshly grated parmesan cheese or store-bought one but don’t use powdered form type parm cheese. Eggs – Use eggs or substitute with melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and your egg substitute is ready.
– Preheat the oven to 375 F or 190 C. – Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. – Brush the chicken cutlets with melted butter (optional) and season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. – In a shallow dish, add almond flour, grated parmesan. Mix well to combine.
I love to serve it with roasted veggies, like carrots, cauliflower, or steamed broccoli or serve with a side of cauliflower mash, on a salad, or with dipping sauces. And if you are not following a certain diet then serve with roasted potatoes, garlic fries, etc.
