Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- 120 grams almond flour
- 30 grams coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 60 ml coconut milk, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide, to create the goujons.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined to create the egg wash.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 6
Transfer the chicken strip to the almond flour mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the coating adheres to the chicken. Repeat with all chicken strips.
Step 7
Arrange the coated chicken goujons on the prepared baking tray. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from oven and let the goujons rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad.
