Equipment
- Large Casserole Dish
- Large Saute Pan
Ingredients
Chicken Cutlets
- 1 Pound Chicken Breast I usually use 2 large chicken breasts, but I cut them into smaller pieces.
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Cassava Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Sauce & Vegetables
- 2 Cups Sweet Onion, Sliced Thinly
- 3-4 Cloves of Garlic, Sliced Thinly
- 28 Ounces Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes
- 4 Cups Sliced Sweet Peppers I used a bag of pre-sliced frozen peppers, but fresh peppers will work too!
- ½ Cup Fresh Basil, Roughly Chopped
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes If you're not a big fan of spice you can use less! Or you can sub with a ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
Instructions
Preparing the Sauce
- Start by preparing the sauce. Add sliced onions to a large sauté pan on medium/high heat with a little oil. (Olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil will work.) Stir continuously so they don't stick.
- After a couple of minutes, add in the chopped garlic. Stir for a few more minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Next, pour in the can of diced tomatoes, sliced peppers, basil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir well, then turn the heat to medium/low and cover. Let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Chicken
- Start by whisking together the cassava flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs.
- Next, dip a piece of chicken into the egg wash, then into the flour mixture, back into the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture. Place the chicken into the casserole dish. (Repeat for each piece of chicken.)
Baking Chicken
- Once the chicken is prepared, bake at 375 degrees for about 10-12 minutes on each side. You can also broil on high for 2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy outer coating!
Putting it all together
- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for another 10-15 minutes.
- When it's done, remove the casserole dish from the oven and serve hot!
