I LOVE breaded, fried things. ESPECIALLY breaded, fried chicken. BUT--unfortunately--breaded, fried things are not good for one and are not allowed Paleo-wise. The solution? THIS:
The coconut flakes on the outside can crisp up nicely, giving you that kick of crunchy exterior. The inherent sweetness of the flakes adds a really interesting component not found in regular breading. Serve with interesting dips or creamy sauces likes guacamole and it's just...WaBAM.
Also, it's super easy and super fast.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. chicken tenders
1/2 cup shredded UNSWEETENED coconut flakes
pinch of salt
1 egg
2 tbsp coconut oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat coconut oil over medium heat. Pat chicken dry, dip into egg mixture and roll in coconut flakes with salt until coated. Cook a few minutes per side until done.
NOTES:
I didn't have eggs around, so I just used extra virgin olive oil as the sticky element and it worked fine.
