Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 cup coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Place chicken breast fillets between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the fillets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until they are well blended.

Step 4

Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides completely.

Step 5

Transfer the egg-coated fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure the flour mixture adheres to the chicken. Turn to coat both sides, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 7

Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining in the center.

Step 8

Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Let the fillets rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Breaded Chicken Fillets with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes!
