Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 small Lemon
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each breast until they are about 0.25 inches thick.
Step 2
In one shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated, and then dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to adhere well.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for approximately 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve the chicken escalopes hot, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over them for added flavor.
