Keto Chicken Milanese
Description
This recipe creates a crisp Chicken Milanese crust using keto-friendly ingredients. Thin chicken breast slices are coated lightly by first dipping in beaten eggs, then in a blend of Parmesan, almond flour, ground pork rinds, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The key is to coat gently without pressing to keep the breading light and even. Cooking in olive oil over medium heat yields golden, crispy edges while retaining moist chicken inside.
The Parmesan and pork rinds add a savory, slightly nutty flavor and a crunch that mimics traditional Milanese crumb coating. Serving with lemon wedges complements the rich flavors with fresh acidity, enhancing the overall taste.
Suitable for those following keto or low-carb lifestyles, this version avoids breadcrumbs but retains the classic Milanese texture and appearance. It works well as a main dish accompanied by salads or vegetables.

Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in very thin filets. Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk until well combined.
