Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Start by flattening the chicken breasts: Place each breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until they are approximately 1/2 inch thick.
In a large shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep in the pan.
Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.
Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, cooking each piece for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the boneless fried chicken immediately with your choice of Whole30-compliant sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
