Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 lime wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and coconut flour.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until well combined.

Step 4

In a third dish, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Season the chicken breasts with the spice mixture on both sides.

Step 6

Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture. Gently press the flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the Milanesa de Pollo immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for squeezing over the chicken before eating.
