Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to blend all the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, letting any excess egg drip off before rolling it in the almond flour mixture. Ensure the chicken is fully coated in the dry mixture.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the chicken pieces to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these crispy bites as a main dish or appetizer.
