Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Ghee or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the pickle juice and coconut milk. Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, and sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the chicken pieces.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix coconut flour, almond flour, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the egg and set aside.
Step 7
Take each piece of chicken, dip it in the egg, then coat it with the flour mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Melt the ghee or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, quickly sear each side of the chicken for about 2 minutes, until they are golden brown. Transfer back to the baking sheet.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
While the chicken is baking, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt honey with a tablespoon of ghee or coconut oil to create a glaze.
Step 11
Once the chicken is done, brush each piece with the honey glaze.
Step 12
Serve these Paleo Chick-fil-A Chicken Minis warm and enjoy the grain-free and dairy-free delight!
