Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (from a block)
1/2 cup superfine almond flour
2 large eggs
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1-Pat chicken dry and slice: Pat chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels, then slice each breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets.
2-Season the chicken: Season both sides of the cutlets evenly with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3-Make the egg wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the minced garlic clove until fully combined.
4-Prepare the coating mixture: In a separate shallow dish, stir together the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and superfine almond flour.
5-Coat the chicken: Dip each seasoned cutlet into the egg wash, let any excess drip off, then press firmly into the Parmesan-almond mixture on both sides to ensure an even coating.
6-Heat the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil and butter until the oil shimmers.
7-Cook the chicken: Place the coated cutlets in the skillet in a single layer, cook for 4 minutes without moving until golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165ยฐF.
8-Rest and serve: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices before serving.

๐ง Always grate Parmesan fresh from a block; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent proper melting and crisping.
๐งป Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels before seasoning so the egg wash and coating stick better for a crispier crust.
๐ฅ Avoid the microwave when reheating leftovers; use an oven at 350ยฐF for 5-7 minutes or an air fryer at 375ยฐF for 3-4 minutes to keep the crust crispy.
