Cassava Flour Breaded Chicken

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: Main Course

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)

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Heat a pan on the stove over medium heat with avocado oil for about five minutes or until warm.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place the bowl next to the cassava flour mixture.
  5. Piece by piece, move chicken from the milk to the flour using a fork and coat each piece in the flour completely.
  6. 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.
  7. Move the chicken to a drying rack and let cool so that the coating is less likely to fall off.
