Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 8 pieces small cassava tortillas
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces that are approximately 1-inch square.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pickle juice and coconut milk. Add the chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, in another bowl, mix together almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and dredge them in the flour mixture, making sure they are well-coated.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through, then remove and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess ghee.
Warm the cassava tortillas in a clean skillet over low heat, just until they are soft and pliable.
To assemble, place a piece of cooked chicken in the center of each cassava tortilla, folding it up to create a mini wrap.
Serve the chicken minis warm, and enjoy the Whole30 compliance without compromising on flavor.
