Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.75 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create four fillets.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined.
In a separate shallow dish, combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the chicken into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating on both sides of the meat.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken fillets into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Crispy Fried Chicken Fillets.
