    substitute for breading in recipes

    Primal Fuel
    I am on day 10 of paleo and trying to develop food plans. I have a chicken piccata recipe that I particularly love and it is totally paleo EXCEPT that it requires breading the chicken with flour before pan frying it. The breading mostly serves to thicken the sauce. Any ideas as to what I can use instead to "bread" the chicken and/or thicken the sauce?

    I'd recommend coconut flour.

    You could use almond flour as well, but I wouldn't cook that at a very high temp for too long due to the O-6 content.

    I recommend finding a new way to cook chicken.

    Arrowroot, tapioca, potato, white rice, etc. flour are all fine wheat alternatives.

    Thanks all! I have thought about making my recipe without any breading, but the it leaves me with sadness and deprivation mindset. Maybe one day...

    Thank you for the suggestions on the subs. I'll look for them at my next Whole Foods run
