Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large lemon
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to about 1/3-inch thickness.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken escalopes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
During the last minute of cooking, squeeze half of the lemon over the chicken for added flavor.
Remove from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with the remaining lemon cut into wedges on the side.
