Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and mustard until well blended. The mustard adds a tangy flavor and helps the coating adhere to the chicken better.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough before you add the chicken, which helps achieve a crispy crust.
Step 5
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, making sure it's fully coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
Step 6
Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on all sides.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated chicken cutlets into the hot oil. Cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, frying each cutlet for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Whole30 crispy fried chicken cutlets warm with your favorite compliant side dishes or salads.
