Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Whisk eggs and Dijon mustard together in a shallow bowl. Combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken cutlets into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge with almond flour mixture, then set on a plate.

Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper; set aside.
