Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 0.25 cup hot sauce (Paleo-friendly)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces eggs
• 0.5 cup avocado oil
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 2 pieces Paleo sandwich buns (grain-free)
• 8 pieces pickle slices
• 0.25 cup homemade Paleo mayo

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your skillet over medium heat and warm the avocado oil.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts horizontally if they are too thick, ensuring even cooking, and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and the remaining sea salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Repeat to ensure an even crust.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the Paleo-friendly hot sauce on low heat. Dunk the cooked chicken breasts into the hot sauce, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.

Step 9

Slice the Paleo sandwich buns in half and lightly toast them on the skillet for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwich by spreading a layer of Paleo mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, a piece of hot chicken, tomato slices, pickle slices, and the top half of the bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, crispy Paleo Hot Chicken Sandwich!
