Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil (melted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and egg to create an egg wash.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between the strips so they bake evenly.
Step 7
Drizzle the melted ghee or coconut oil over the chicken strips to help them brown and crisp in the oven.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from oven and let the chicken strips rest for a minute before serving. Serve with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
