Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing your dairy-free buttermilk substitute: In a bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken.
While the buttermilk mixture is resting, prepare the breading station. In a shallow dish, mix the flour with cornstarch. In a second shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast fillet into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured chicken in the thickened almond milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Finally, dredge the chicken fillets in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coating.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Once heated, carefully place the chicken fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot as part of a main dish or in a sandwich. Enjoy your crispy, dairy-free meal!
