Steps:
- If any of the chicken slices are thicker than 1/4 inch, pound them out one at a time between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Lay out the chicken on a baking sheet or plate and sprinkle all over with salt and just enough of the almond flour to lightly coat both sides.
- Beat the eggs in a wide shallow bowl. In another wide, shallow bowl, mix the remaining almond flour with the Parmesan, paprika and garlic powder.
- Dip 1 to 2 slices of chicken in the eggs to coat. Let the excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour-Parmesan mixture. Return to the baking sheet or plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Heat 1/4 inch of ghee or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add half the chicken and cook until golden on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more ghee or oil if needed. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Use a light coating of breading: A thick breading will absorb more oil and make the chicken cutlets less crispy.
- Use a nonstick cooking spray: This will help to prevent the chicken cutlets from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken cutlets at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Flip the chicken cutlets halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Let the chicken cutlets cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Serve the chicken cutlets with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all good options.
Conclusion:
Low-cal oven-fried chicken cutlets are a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken. They are just as crispy and flavorful, but they are much lower in fat and calories. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in under 30 minutes. So next time you are craving fried chicken, try this healthier version instead.
