Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Breading
- 1 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3/4 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
Egg Wash
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
- Make sure your chicken breasts are cut into smaller, thinner slices. To do this, begin butterflying the chicken breast, but continue cutting all the way through.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the eggs and mayonnaise. Whisk until it becomes a well-combined mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the cheese, almond flour, and seasonings.
- Place each fillet into the egg mixture, turning to coat. Transfer chicken to the breading mixture, then turn to coat again. Repeat this step, dipping each piece of chicken into the egg and the breading one last time.
- Freeze the chicken fillets for 10 minutes on a baking sheet to help the breading adhere to the chicken.
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat, then add avocado oil. Cook the chicken 3-4 minutes on each side. Make sure to only flip the chicken once to keep the breading on the chicken.
- Remove from skillet when chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165.
