Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with unsweetened almond milk.
Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated. Lastly, press each side into the breadcrumbs until it’s fully covered.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken.
Cook each escalope for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer cooked chicken onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the chicken escalopes warm with lemon wedges on the side.
