Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.25 cup Whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, chickpea flour, whey protein powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined to create the egg wash.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breast fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the flour mixture. Press the fillets into the flour mixture to ensure a thick, even coating.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken fillets to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.
Step 6
Transfer the browned fillets to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the crispy chicken fillets hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
