Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast piece into the beaten eggs, making sure it is completely coated.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken breast from the eggs to the flour mixture. Press down firmly to ensure the flour sticks to the chicken, then flip to coat the other side. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo chicken cutlets with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
