- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour and tapioca starch. Mix well to create the dry batter.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together coconut milk, egg, and coconut aminos until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the almond flour mixture and mix well.
Step 5
Dip each chicken piece first into the wet batter and then roll it in the dry batter mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Set aside on a plate.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat until hot.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered chicken bites into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the cooked chicken bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad.
