Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or with a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, add almond flour, grated parmesan, paprika and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.
Dip the chicken into the butter mixture, then shake off any excess. Place it into the almond flour mixture, and gently press to coat evenly on both sides.
Place it into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with lemon and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
