Ingredients

600 grams chicken breasts approximately, 2 chicken breasts, sliced in half
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 for cooking

Instructions

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, paprika, 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 into the egg mixture, then the crumb mixture. Make sure that they are evenly coated. Place in a baking dish or flat plate, cover 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. You may need to add some more coconut oil when cooking the next batch.
Serve with your favourite salads, sides, sauces and lemon wedges.
