Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F and set aside an oven-safe skillet for finishing the chicken.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick so they cook evenly.
  • Stir together the almond flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  • In a second dish, whisk the eggs with the almond milk and garlic until smooth.
  • In a third dish, combine the Romano cheese, pork rind crumbs, oregano, and basil.
  • Coat each chicken breast in the almond flour mixture, shaking off any extra.
  • Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture until fully coated.
  • Press each piece firmly into the cheese and crumb mixture, making sure the coating adheres well.
  • Warm the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breasts.
  • Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the crust turns golden.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for several minutes before serving so the crust stays crisp.
