Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each chicken strip into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the egg-dipped chicken strip in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the coated chicken strips in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Transfer the fried chicken goujons to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
Remove the goujons from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Paleo Crispy Chicken Goujons with your choice of paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
