Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a large resealable bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick.
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated, then place it into the flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to make sure it sticks well. Repeat this process for all the chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil (or avocado oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, but not fully cooked through.
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Breaded Chicken hot with a side of your favorite vegetables or salad.
