Almond Flour Breaded Chicken

By Heather
Almond flour breaded chicken is such a flavorful recipe! It is a completely gluten-free chicken recipe, and get’s crispy and delicious, thanks to the combination of almond flour and parmesan cheese for the crust. This dinner is a whole family favorite, and very kid-approved. Make a big batch, because leftovers work super well on salads, or as an easy protein addition to any meal!

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • If your chicken breasts are not already thinly sliced from the store, you will want to slice each into 2-3 thin chicken pieces, wide pieces.
  • In a shallow bowl combine the egg and coconut milk. Whisk to combine the egg mixture and set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic granules, and pepper. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • Prepare your breaded chicken by dipping both sides of a thinly sliced piece into the egg wash. Let any excess drip off. Next, press the chicken into the almond flour breading on both sides. Place on a baking sheet and continue the process until all the chicken is breaded.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the chicken when the pan is hot (can do it in batches if needed), and sear for 6-7 minutes on the first side. After that amount of time, and the chicken is golden brown, flip and cook another 4-5 minutes on the second side, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Repeat with any additional chicken.
  • If the chicken is thicker and not fully cooked through, you can also finish the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-8 minutes.
