Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.3 cup coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing each chicken breast in half horizontally to make thinner fillets. Gently pound them to even thickness using a meat mallet.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg and mix it with unsweetened almond milk to make the wet batter.

Step 4

Coat each chicken fillet in the dry mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip each fillet into the egg and almond milk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 5

Immediately coat the chicken fillet again in the dry mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Repeat the process for all fillets.

Step 6

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken fillets in the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the fillets for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Zinger Fillet hot, optionally with Paleo-friendly sides like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
