Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil or any preferred cooking oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. If they are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create 8 fillets. This ensures even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a separate shallow dish or bowl, beat the two eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each chicken fillet in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the flour-coated chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure to cover both sides completely.
Finally, press the chicken fillets into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Press the breadcrumbs lightly to help them adhere better.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken fillets to the hot pan in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each fillet for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy breaded chicken fillets with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
