Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 8 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
In a shallow dish, combine coconut flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and then whisk in the coconut milk until well combined.
Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, about 4-5 pieces per skewer.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip each chicken skewer into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.
Carefully place the coated skewers into the hot oil. Fry for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove skewers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken skewers immediately with your choice of paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
