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!
