My personal experience

I love chicken schnitzel, but I don’t like how heavy and greasy it can be. That’s why I started experimenting with different ingredients and cooking methods to come up with a healthier version that still tastes amazing.

After several attempts, I finally found the perfect combination of almond flour, spices, and oven baking to make a low-carb chicken schnitzel that is just as crispy and flavorful as the original.

Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup almond flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
1 tbsp water
Olive oil cooking spray

Here’s what you need to do:

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to make sure it sticks.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
