Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create your seasoned coating mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of the coating into the oil; it should sizzle upon contact.
Step 6
Carefully place the chicken bites into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the chicken bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Check the thickest piece to ensure there is no pink and the juices run clear.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Crispy Fried Chicken Bites immediately, paired with a paleo-friendly dipping sauce of your choice.
