Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into strips for easier handling and even cooking.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix the coconut flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, and then dredge them in the coconut flour mixture.

Step 6

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken strips to the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven to finish cooking for 15 minutes.

Step 9

While the chicken is baking, make the sauce by combining heavy cream, coconut milk, and lime juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 10

Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the sauce over the chicken.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve the Keto Coconut Chicken immediately.
