Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large lemon
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to about 1/3-inch thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until combined.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken escalopes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
During the last minute of cooking, squeeze half of the lemon over the chicken for added flavor.
Step 8
Remove from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with the remaining lemon cut into wedges on the side.
