Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ½ cup gluten free bread crumbs
- 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
White Wine Mushroom Sauce (optional)
- 12 oz 340 g white mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ cup half and half (or coconut cream)
- salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Pound each boneless chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the almond flour, the whisked eggs and the gluten-free bread crumbs in 3 separate flat dishes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Dredge each chicken breast in almond flour, tapping off any excess flour, then dip each one in the bowl with the eggs, and then coat well with breadcrumbs.
- Saute first two chicken breasts for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the Schnitzels from the skillet and cover with a foil to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the Schnitzels.
