Fried Cheese Chicken (Flourless) #Keto
Ingredients:
- 8 boneless chicken breast pieces, cleaned
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt, to taste
- 1 egg
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Oil, enough for deep frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Start by thoroughly washing the chicken breast pieces and patting them dry. Season the chicken with salt and lime juice, allowing it to marinate for a few minutes to enhance the flavor.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, fresh parsley, and garlic powder to the egg. Mix well with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined.
-
Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated. Then, roll the chicken in shredded cheddar cheese, pressing gently to ensure the cheese adheres well.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a frying pan until it reaches a high temperature. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Be careful not to flip the chicken too frequently to prevent it from falling apart.
-
Serve: Once cooked through and crispy, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade KFC-style cheesy chicken!
Note: Avoid flipping the chicken too often to keep the coating intact.
And there you have it—crispy, cheesy chicken without the flour, perfect for your ketogenic diet! 😊
