Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and almond milk until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 6
Carefully place the chicken bites into the heated skillet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Step 7
Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken bites from the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo dipping sauce or a fresh salad.
