Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and set aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and water until frothy.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture by pressing lightly.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken strips onto a plate or clean surface.
Step 7
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken goujons in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Cook the goujons for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Once all goujons are browned, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Step 10
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant dipping sauce.
