Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 cup tapioca flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and cut each into three equal pieces.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs until fully mixed.

Step 5

Dip each piece of chicken first in the beaten eggs and then dredge in the flour mixture, coating evenly.

Step 6

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a baking sheet and finish in the oven for another 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 8

Prepare the waffle batter by combining coconut milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Step 9

Add tapioca flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients and mix well. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 10

Preheat a waffle iron, grease it with a small amount of coconut oil, and add enough batter to cover the surface, cooking until golden brown and fully set.

Step 11

Remove the waffles and keep them warm. Repeat until all batter is used.

Step 12

Serve hot waffles topped with crispy chicken pieces and an optional drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
