How to: Make Paleo Fried Chicken

This is another invention of my sister Lori's that she's graciously agreed to share. Southern gals (and guys) love some good fried chicken. This is a modified version of traditional fried chicken that is both fried and baked. Here's what you'll need.


Materials:
  • Small casserole dish
  • Small bowl
  • Fork
  • Tablespoon
  • 1/2 cup
  • Frying pan

Ingredients:
  • 3 chicken breasts (and tenderloins if they are still attached)
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons of basil
  • 1 tablespoon of oregano
  • 1 tablespoon of Italian Seasoning
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix almond flour and spices together in small casserole dish with spoon.






















Beat two eggs with a fork in a small bowl. Pour olive oil into frying pan and heat on medium.




Dip the chicken into the egg, one chicken breast/tenderloin at a time until each side is fully coated.




Once coated with egg, dip chicken into the spiced flour mixture, evenly coating each side and using the spoon to scoop mixture if necessary. Note: I used as little almond flour as possible in order to save it since it is expensive. If you are using more than 3 chicken breasts, you will need to add more flour and spices to have enough to coat your chicken.










Place all the chicken in the frying pan and let fry for 7 minutes on each side.




Once both sides are fried, place the frying pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.




Serve hot out of the oven with your favorite sides and properly store any leftovers for future meals.
