⅔ cup - tapioca flour
1 tsp - ground pepper
½ tsp - garlic powder

First, trim fat off chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a meat pounder, pound chicken to 1/4 inch thickness.
Next, add whisked egg and coconut milk to a shallow bowl. Stir to combine.
In another shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, tapioca flour, ground pepper, garlic powder and sea salt.
