Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and carefully slice them length-wise, starting at the thicker end, moving toward the thin end.
  • Combine the gluten free all-purpose flour with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix together and put on a plate.
  • Add the almond meal to a separate plate.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the two eggs.
  • Bread the chicken by coating it first with the egg mixture, then the gluten-free flour, followed by the almond meal. Repeat for all of the chicken cutlets.
  • Heat enough coconut oil (or high-temp oil of choice) in a cast iron skillet to medium until the skillet is completely hot.
  • Carefully place breaded chicken cutlets on the hot skillet and allow them to cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side (longer if the chicken is thick), or until crispy and cooked through. Internal temperature of the chicken should be 160 degrees F.
  • Serve the pan fried chicken with a green salad or your favorite side dish.

Notes

*Use high-temperature cooking oil of choice if you don't have coconut oil. Canola or grapeseed oil work great.
