Keto Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe | just 20 minutes to make! A low-carb delight with a crispy coating and mouthwatering flavor.

4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast Thin-cut helps save cooking time and ensures juicy meat.

½ cup Mayonnaise Acts as a moistening agent; can be replaced with a beaten egg mixed with water.
1 tablespoon Water Thins the mayo for an easy wash that helps the coating adhere.
¾ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Provides the signature crunchy coating; choose grated for best texture.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds savory depth to elevate the overall flavor profile.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Brings a subtle sweetness to balance the dish’s savoriness.
1 teaspoon Paprika Gives a mild spice and gorgeous color to the crust.

2 tablespoon Olive Oil Essential for frying, adds richness while preventing sticking.

Preheat your oven to 350°F if you're using thicker chicken cutlets.
Pound the chicken breast to a uniform thinness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine mayonnaise and water to create a wash.
In another bowl, mix grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Dip chicken cutlets into the mayo wash, then coat each in the parmesan mixture.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
If chicken is thick, transfer to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with lemon wedges for a zesty kick!
