Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Place chicken breast fillets between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the fillets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until they are well blended.
Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides completely.
Transfer the egg-coated fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure the flour mixture adheres to the chicken. Turn to coat both sides, shaking off any excess.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining in the center.
Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Let the fillets rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Breaded Chicken Fillets with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes!
