Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to integrate the spices evenly throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth and consistent.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then transfer it to the flour mixture. Roll the chicken in the flour mixture to coat completely, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, add the coconut oil. Allow it to melt and come to temperature until a small piece of batter sizzles upon contact.
Carefully place the battered chicken pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the chicken bites for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the cooked chicken bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately while warm. These bites pair wonderfully with a Whole30 compliant dipping sauce.
