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!
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.
