Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well blended.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the flour adheres well.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken cutlets in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Transfer the browned chicken cutlets to the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Crunchy Chicken with your favorite Paleo sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
