Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then, dredge the egg-coated chicken breast into the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere and ensure it is fully coated.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite paleo-friendly sides.
