Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast halves
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 4

Take one chicken breast half and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken to the breadcrumb mixture and coat it evenly on all sides. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.

Step 6

Repeat the breading process with the remaining chicken pieces.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown but not cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 11

Remove the oven-baked chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the gluten-free breaded chicken with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
