Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken pieces to the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered in the seasoned flour.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of chicken dropped in sizzles immediately.
Step 7
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the chicken balls for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the fried chicken balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
