Paleo Chicken Schnitzel

By Jan

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, sliced in half in a similar manner to butterflying, but cutting right through
• 1/4 cup arrowroot (or tapioca flour)
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1 - tablespoons coconut oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between cling wrap and flatten with a meat tenderiser, or roll with a rolling pin, until they are nice and thin.

To make the crumb mixture, add the almond meal, coconut flour, sea salt and pepper to a shallow bowl, mixing to combine. Place the egg and arrowroot flour in separate shallow bowls.

Dip each piece of chicken into the arrowroot flour, then egg, then the crumb mixture. Make sure that they are evenly coated. Place in a baking dish and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Pre-heat large fry pan on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and cook each schnitzel for 4-5 minutes each side.

Serve with lemon wedges and your favourite sides.
