Ingredients
- 2 pieces 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
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Coat the egg-dipped chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating all over.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken cutlets in the skillet. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 8
Cook each cutlet for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your choice of sides or on a salad for a delicious, healthy meal.
