I followed countless recipes to recreate the popular low carb chicken cutlet recipe and was very pleased with the results. Here are some tips I learned in the process: – Buy a good quality chicken tenderloin cutlet, do not use chicken breasts or thighs, they have too much fat. – Buy fresh parsley, it is very important for the finishing touch. – Grill the cutlets on both sides, until the outside is black. – Don’t cover the grill with aluminum foil, just leave it open. – Do not deep fry them, they will get soggy from the oil. – Salt and pepper them after cooking, they are not salty enough on the inside. – Use a good quality Parmesan, not the cheaper stuff.
I’m a self-confessed foodie, and I love food, lifestyle and fitness blogs. There’s something so inspiring about seeing other people’s interest and passion for cooking and food. I also love to experiment and learn new things.
The keto diet is not only incredibly effective for weight loss and quick, but it’s also great for your health, as it focuses on eating foods with a low-carb, moderate protein, and high fat content so that your body can enter into a state of ketosis.
Keto Chicken Cutlets — These low-carb chicken cutlets are crispy on the exterior and juicy on the inside, and they can be baked or pan-fried in under 10 minutes, making them ideal for a quick keto meal.
What exactly is a chicken cutlet?
A cutlet is a small slice of boneless, skinless chicken, turkey, or veal flesh. And the chicken cutlet is seasoned and battered before being deep-fried or baked.
I’ve previously published keto chicken nuggets, chicken milanese, keto chicken fried steak, and more fried cum baked chicken dishes. Take a look at these!
What You’ll Need To Make These Simple Low-Carb Chicken Cutlets
Almond Flour – I am making this keto chicken cutlets with almond flour, but if you don’t have it in hand then substitute with coconut flour (< buy it) or use a combination of both (1/4+1/4 cup)
Panko Breadcrumbs – I made this same recipe with panko crumbs (< buy it) and ti tastes very good, so definitely give it a try and make low carb chicken cutlets with pork rinds
Parmesan Cheese – Always use freshly grated or store-bought parmesan cheese; never use powdered parmesan cheese.
Eggs — I’m using eggs, but you could use melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper instead. Your egg replacement is now ready to use.
What Should You Serve With Keto Chicken Cutlets Parmesan?
I prefer to serve it with roasted vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, or steamed broccoli, or with cauliflower mash, salad, or dipping sauces.
If you’re not on a diet, serve with roasted potatoes, garlic fries, and other side dishes.
