Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast halves
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Take one chicken breast half and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Transfer the chicken to the breadcrumb mixture and coat it evenly on all sides. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.
Repeat the breading process with the remaining chicken pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown but not cooked through.
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the oven-baked chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the gluten-free breaded chicken with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
