Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breast
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk (I use coconut)
  • ½ cup cassava flour (I use Otto's Naturals, add more as needed)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp avocado oil, separated (add more as needed)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk egg and milk together in a large bowl. Place all of your chicken into the bowl, ensuring it is all covered. Place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Heat a pan on the stove over medium heat with avocado oil for about five minutes or until warm.
  • While the pan is heating, mix together cassava flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl and place next to the stove.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place the bowl next to the cassava flour mixture.
  • Piece by piece, move chicken from the milk to the flour using a fork and coat each piece in the flour completely.
  • Carefully transfer the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Tip: if the bottom of your pan is coated in excess flour after cooking a batch, clean out pan and start the oil heating step again to achieve clean, not burnt, chicken.
  • Move the chicken to a drying rack and let cool so that the coating is less likely to fall off.
