Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the dry batter.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until smooth. This is your wet batter.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken first into the dry batter mixture, then into the egg mixture, and once more into the dry batter to ensure a good coating.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a sprinkle of batter sizzles upon contact.
Step 6
Working in batches, add chicken pieces to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until each piece is golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 7
Remove the chicken bites from the skillet using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 8
Serve the chicken bites warm with your favorite Whole30 compliant sauce or dip.
