Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.75 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium lemon
• 4 cups mixed greens
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound the breasts until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Dip each pounded chicken breast into the beaten egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, slice the lemon into wedges.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a minute.

Step 9

In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Step 10

Serve the chicken Milanese hot over a bed of dressed mixed greens with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
