Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca starch
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning distribution.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, making sure it is well-coated. Allow any excess to drip off before transferring it into the flour mixture.
Step 5
Firmly press each chicken strip into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides. Gently shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Heat the oil until hot and shimmering but not smoking.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each strip for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo crispy fried chicken strips with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or side salad.
