Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless 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 ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 sliced lemon
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir together well.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken cutlets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Whole30 Chicken Cutlets with lemon slices on the side for squeezing over the cutlets for extra flavor. Enjoy your healthy, crisp dish!
