Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and almond milk until well combined.
In another bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Carefully place the chicken bites into the heated skillet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken bites from the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo dipping sauce or a fresh salad.
