Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thinner cutlets.
- Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
2. Make the Breading:

- In another dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream.
3. Coat the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Press the chicken into the almond flour mixture, coating both sides well. Shake off any excess.
4. Fry the Chicken:

5. Add Sauce and Cheese:

6. Bake to Perfection:
