Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
Coconut oil for frying
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together shredded coconut, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, then coat with the coconut mixture.
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the coated chicken tenders in the coconut oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Why It Works
The coconut crust is made with a combination of shredded coconut, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This combination of ingredients creates a flavorful and crispy crust that adheres to the chicken well.
The chicken is cooked in coconut oil, which gives it a delicious flavor and helps to keep it moist.
The chicken is cooked at a medium heat, which allows the coconut crust to brown evenly without burning.
