Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 cup olive oil or any preferred cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. If they are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create 8 fillets. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish or bowl, beat the two eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 4

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken fillet in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the flour-coated chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure to cover both sides completely.

Step 7

Finally, press the chicken fillets into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Press the breadcrumbs lightly to help them adhere better.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 9

Add the chicken fillets to the hot pan in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each fillet for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Once cooked, transfer the chicken fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free crispy breaded chicken fillets with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
