Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and egg until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring it's well-coated, then dredge it into the dry ingredient mixture to form an even layer of coating.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan generously.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the battered chicken pieces into the skillet, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness by cutting into a piece to ensure it's fully cooked through.
Step 8
As each batch finishes cooking, transfer the pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Crispy Battered Chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or Paleo-friendly sides.
