Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it evenly in the flour mixture.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Drizzle the chicken lightly with olive oil to help it crisp up while baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the schnitzels rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken schnitzel with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, if desired.
