Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and water until frothy.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture by pressing lightly.
Place the coated chicken strips onto a plate or clean surface.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken goujons in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the goujons for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Once all goujons are browned, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant dipping sauce.
