Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and egg to create an egg wash.
Dip each chicken strip into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between the strips so they bake evenly.
Drizzle the melted ghee or coconut oil over the chicken strips to help them brown and crisp in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from oven and let the chicken strips rest for a minute before serving. Serve with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
