Ingredients:

Six bone-in chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

Two large eggs

½ cup of heavy cream

¾ cup of almond flour

½ cup of grated parmesan

One tablespoon of garlic powder

½ tablespoon of paprika

½ cup of mayonnaise

1 ½ cup of hot sauce

keto friendly breadcrumbs

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash the chicken and pat it with a dry towel to get rid of any excess water. Marinate the chicken with salt and pepper.

In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream and eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

In another bowl, combine the almond flour, the parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, put the keto friendly breadcrumbs.

Prepare a baking sheet. Rub two tablespoons of oil so that chicken does not stick to it.

Dip the chicken in the egg mixture first, then in the flour mixture, and then in the keto friendly breadcrumbs. After this, carefully place it on the baking sheet.

When all is done, bake the chicken at 165 degrees for forty-five minutes until it is golden brown.

In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise and hot sauce to form a sauce that will go with the chicken.

Serve the chicken when it comes out of the oven with baked or mashed potatoes.
