Primal Coconut Fried Chicken

By LeeBoruchow

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp of virgin coconut oil

Preparation

Step 1

Trim any remaining skin or white parts from the chicken breasts. Rinse under cool water and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or parchment. On a chopping board, cut the chicken into strips somewhere between ½ an inch and an inch thick. Set aside.

In a shallow dish, combine coconut flakes, almond flour and salt and pepper. In a bowl, crack eggs and beat lightly. Dip the chicken strips first in the egg and then roll in the coconut/almond flour mixture.

Heat the coconut oil in the pan over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken strips until the exterior turns a golden brown and the inside is no longer pink. Remove from heat and place atop a bed of mixed greens.
