Paleo Chicken Schnitzel that is gluten-free & dairy-free. Almond flour crispy crumble crust as a comfort food for quick low carb keto weeknight dinner.
Crumbed Chicken: Almond Flour Special
Sometimes I just feel like that I would like to have something fried when I’m in my comfort holiday zone. So, what’s better than a schnitzel, which crumb is actually made out of almonds! The best thing about it is that I barely notice the difference.
Healthy Alternative? Paleo Chicken Schnitzel?
I know that almond meal is more expensive than flour and white bread. However, in my opinion, it’s totally worth it! I’ll get my cravings for salty comfort food satisfied and at the same time, it’s so much healthier than deep-fried schnitzel with plain flour and breadcrumb. So, if you are looking for a healthier solution to enjoy schnitzel, then I definitely advise you to try this recipe.
