Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and coconut milk together until well combined.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken poppers in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked poppers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately, alongside your favorite Paleo-approved dipping sauce.
