Ingredients

• 2 large, boneless and skinless Chicken breast
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 2 medium Sweet potato
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.

Step 4

Dip each chicken piece in the beaten eggs, then coat fully in the flour and spice mixture. Repeat for all pieces.

Step 5

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil, cooking for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Step 7

While the chicken cooks, peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 8

Arrange sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray with coconut oil, and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.

Step 9

Assemble sliders by placing a chicken piece on a sweet potato slice, add a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a pickle, then top with another sweet potato slice.

Step 10

Repeat for remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
