Crispy “Breaded” Paleo Chicken Cutlets {Whole30}

Sharing is caring!

Whole 30 No Added Sugar

My family’s favorite “breaded” Paleo Chicken Cutlets that are super easy, quick, and just as good as the original.  Whole30 compliant and kid friendly – you can put these on you “go-to” dinner list!My family's favorite "breaded" Paleo Chicken Cutlets that are super easy, quick, and just as good as the original. Whole30 compliant and kid friendly - you can put these on you "go-to" dinner list!

I’ll begin today’s post with a true-chicken-cutlet-story from my childhood.  Or adolescence?  I can’t remember anymore.  Anyhow, my mom – who worked full time++ while I was growing up (and still does, actually) – set a goal at some point to cook dinner once per week.

I think it was Saturdays, might have been Sundays.  Nope, Sunday was family meeting day, Saturday dinner day.  So, anyway…

The thing she would make once per week was chicken cutlets.  You can feel the excitement now, I’m sure.

Gosh help me, if there was such a thing as the internet back then, or, even if I’d just had a cookbook, I probably would’ve cooked myself once per week or at least printed out a few recipes for my dad to figure out.  To save us from TV dinner and delivery overload.

He tried lasagna once and simultaneously made it watery and burnt – I still don’t understand that one.  But back to the chicken cutlet story.

My family's favorite "breaded" Paleo Chicken Cutlets that are super easy, quick, and just as good as the original. Whole30 compliant and kid friendly - you can put these on you "go-to" dinner list!The weekly chicken cutlets – along with the mashed potatoes, canned corn and the occasional canned peas, made quite the impression on me.  So much so, that I’m sitting here now more than 30 years later telling you the story, that really isn’t much of a story, but rather PROOF that delicious, home cooked meals are MEMORABLE – even if they only happen once per week.   Maybe ESPECIALLY if they only happen once per week.My family's favorite "breaded" Paleo Chicken Cutlets that are super easy, quick, and just as good as the original. Whole30 compliant and kid friendly - you can put these on you "go-to" dinner list!

I suppose if I wanted to get (probably-unnecessarily) analytical about my food blogging ways, I would tell you that my “mission” as a (Paleo) food blogger is to help busy families (MOMS!) have MORE of those memorable home cooking family moments.

Made grain free and healthier, of course!  And yes, it totally counts even if it’s only on Saturdays (which, maybe-not-so-accidentally happens to be today!)

These Paleo chicken cutlets are as close to a copycat of what my mom used to make as I could come up with. The Italian style breadcrumbs are mimicked with a mixture of blanched almond flour and coconut flour plus salt and Italian seasonings, and the dredging/frying process is very much the same.  Voila – we have a Whole30 and Paleo chicken winner here!

The best part?  My kids (and husband) – who still eat unhealthy chicken fingers on occasion – love these as much as any non-Paleo chicken.  I made them this time with smashed & roasted red potatoes and a simple salad, but, if you prefer going the mashed potato/canned corn route you know I will not blame you!

Busy mommas, unite!  And definitely make your family these “breaded” Paleo chicken cutlets – whenever/wherever you’re reading this – it’s Saturday somewhere, right?  Hmm, not sure.  Either way let’s start cooking!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, thin sliced or pounded to 1/2" thickness
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour*
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour*
  • 1 and 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning blend <--My favorite
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • dash red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil + 2 tbsp ghee for frying**

Instructions

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium shallow bowl (you will dredge the cutlets in the mixture)
  2. Have your whisked egg in a shallow bowl, heat a large, heavy, deep skillet over medium heat and add 3 tbsp total of cooking fat (a combination of ghee and coconut oil, or all coconut.) Depending on the size of your skillet, you might have to fry these in 2 batches, so have additional cooking fat ready in case you need more.
  3. Once the skillet it preheated (you can see if a drop of the dry mixture sizzles), dip one cutlet in the egg, shaking off excess, then coat in the dry mixture, shaking off excess. Place the chicken in the pan, then repeat the process for each piece of chicken.
  4. Cook on one side until medium-golden brown (2 minutes) and crisp, then carefully turn over the chicken with tongs and cook the second side until golden brown and juices run clear, about 2 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken***
  5. Carefully remove chicken cutlets from skillet with tongs and place on a paper-towel lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve hot with baked fries, sweet potatoes, or butternut squash fries! Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*You will likely have a bit of this mixture leftover, but I recommend using this amount to ensure you have enough to dredge all the cutlets without things getting sticky!
**I love this specific combination for how it helps the cutlets brown without burning, however you can easily use all coconut oil to fry the cutlets.
***You might need to adjust the heat and/or add more fat to the skillet while cooking the second side, as well as for the second batch.

    my dad made the best chicken cutlets when I was a kid too! I lived for them and we had them several nights a week — which I continued when I got married and then had my son. lately my son has decided he won’t eat my chicken (i dont know why??) so I don’t make them much anymore, especially since I don’t eat chicken. but your chicken always looks so good – thinking about the nuggets you make too, those always look so good to me! if I ate chicken, I know I would love these cutlets!

    I plan on trying your recipe this week for dinner. On a side side, what dressing do you use for your salads when whole 30/paleo? Your salad in the picture looks amazing but I struggle with finding or making whole30/paleo salad dressings.

    • Michele says

      February 19, 2017 at 9:34 pm

      Other than simple oil and vinegar type dressings I usually use my homemade mayo as a base for ranch since that’s the easiest creamy Whole30 type dressing and we all like it. Here is the recipe for the mayo: https://www.paleorunningmomma.com/whole30-paleo-easy-homemade-mayo-recipe/ – I’ve used it as a base for chipotle ranch, buffalo ranch, and avocado ranch on my site, any dressing can be thinned to preference with a bit of water after mixing. Full fat coconut milk is also a good base for creamy Whole30 dressings.

      I have to say we all – even the kids – like these as leftovers as much as fresh! They lose the crispiness but keep the flavor and moistness, although reheating in the oven can crisp them up again. My husband likes taking these as leftovers to work for lunch once per week 🙂

I do love, and have missed, my Schnitzel, but your rendition of the breaded, fried chicken cutlet was so tasty! If I ever actually stop being compliant, I’ll still turn to your version. I served it with roasted cauliflower rice and roasted onions and zucchini. What a fantastic dinner!! Thank you!

      Oops sorry missed this one! While it’s possible to bake them you won’t get the crispiness that pan frying provides. I would suggest 425 to yield the crispiest results, time will vary based on your oven and thickness of the cutlets but I would flip after about 8 minutes and check them from there. Hope this helps!

    Hi! Just tried to make these and the breading didn’t seem to really “stick” when I went to turn them over or pull them out (with tongs). Any idea why?

    Reply
    • Michele says

      July 30, 2017 at 5:01 pm

      I’d say the skillet/oil wasn’t hot enough to get them to fry properly? When I make these I sometimes get small pieces that come off but overall the breading sticks well. If you try again, make sure the skillet it really hot by dropping a bit of the breading mixture in and seeing if it sizzles right away. The material of your skillet might affect it as well, if it’s not non-stick enough the breading might be sticking and coming off of the chicken even with the right amount of heat.

Thankfully, your stint on IG @whole30recipes came just a few days after hubby and I started our first Whole 30—28 days ago. We have basically lived on your apple cinnamon breakfast cereal for breakfast, and I’ve lost count of how many of your entree recipes I’ve made and have been a hit! Just made these chicken cutlets for the first time and hubby can’t stop munching. THANK YOU so much for all your hard work! I really appreciate it!!

          Pan frying in oil will definitely make things smoky, but you should lower your heat if things are burning for sure. Every stovetop/skillet is different so always play around with heat and adjust as needed. I typically adjust my heat 2 or 3 times every time I cook.

      Every stovetop is different and even the skillet you use will make a difference, so next time you try it I would definitely lower the heat and make adjustments based on how they’re browning.

    I have been working out of town, living Monday thru Friday in a hotel room with only a mini fridge and a microwave for “cooking”. Saturday and Sunday involve a lot of intense meal prepping as I don’t eat in restaurants. I’m keto rather than whole 30. Last week I was craving fried chicken and almost caved and did the fast food chain. Fortunately, I was able to stick to my eating plan and not cave. Today I made your fried chicken using cutlets (3 of them) and packed them up to take with me for dinners next week, with spinach, tomato, and feta salad as the side. I did cut off a corner of one to taste it and had to force myself not to eat the whole thing! OMG! Takes me back to my mom’s fried chicken dinners. I have made a similar “fried” chicken breaded with only almond flour that was baked in the oven, and I have to say this is wayyyyy better. Thanks so much for giving me back fried chicken that tastes even better than the classic, flour dredged version! I’m thinking these will also make great chicken sandwiches on gluten free buns with homemade mayo, lettuce and tomato. Hmmm, I think I need to go make some buns now 😉

    Have never heard of almond crusted cutlets. This is a super idea packing more nutrition to the recipe Hanifia

    Think you can use boneless skinless thighs as they’re usually thinner?

    Hi. I always have a warm oven ready. Sometimes the meat is not cooked when the coating is, and a warm oven helps to complete the process..

    Hi! Do you think these would work with using chicken tenders instead of the breast pieces? I realize they will be skinnier than the cutlet pieces. But has anyone tried it?

    On Day 2 of Whole 30 and desperately hunting for a chicken recipe (we’re poor planners) and ran into this! Thankfully, had all the ingredients in the cupboard from previous 30’s and went to town. Absolutely delicious and was a hit with family! I also did a quick marinade of the cutlets with Primal’s caesar dressing, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
