Instructions

  1. 1

    • In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
    • In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.
  3. 3
    Bread the Chicken:
    • Dip each chicken breast into some flour, then in the beaten egg, coating both sides.
