Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally to create four even cutlets. Place each cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap or inside a plastic bag, and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl or plate, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the breading mixture.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge each cutlet in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets to the pan, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Whole30 Breaded Chicken Cutlets immediately with your choice of Whole30 compliant sides or salad.
