Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and set aside.
In another bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken pieces to the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered in the seasoned flour.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of chicken dropped in sizzles immediately.
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken balls for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried chicken balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
