Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten the chicken breasts to about half an inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin for even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken into the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure an even and thick coating.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
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 internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Breaded Chicken hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
