Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 servings lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them well with the yogurt mixture. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for extra flavor.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs. Set aside.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess yogurt mixture to drip off. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then dredge in the almond flour and breadcrumb mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Milanesa de Pollo hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for added flavor.
