Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thigh fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 100 ml coconut cream
- 4 bacon strips
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thigh fillets and set aside.
Set up your dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with gluten-free flour, one with beaten eggs and almond milk combined, and one with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the corn kernels and coconut cream. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is tender.
Remove from heat and use a blender or immersion blender to puree the corn mixture until smooth and creamy.
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the chicken with the creamy corn puree and top with the crispy bacon strips.
Garnish with lime wedges and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
