- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Flatten the chicken breasts to about half an inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin for even cooking.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken into the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure an even and thick coating.
Step 7
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Step 9
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve the Paleo Breaded Chicken hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
