Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.

After the egg wash, roll the chicken piece in the almond flour mixture, firmly pressing the flour mixture onto the chicken to create an even coating.
