Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 sliced lemon
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir together well.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken cutlets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 6
Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the Whole30 Chicken Cutlets with lemon slices on the side for squeezing over the cutlets for extra flavor. Enjoy your healthy, crisp dish!
