Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 optional lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Dip each piece of chicken into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it evenly in the flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the chicken lightly with olive oil to help it crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust.
Remove from the oven and let the schnitzels rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken schnitzel with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, if desired.
