EASY BAKED COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE - PALEO & LOW CARB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Place a nonstick wire rack onto a lined baking sheet. Spray or brush the rack with oil.
• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then cut into tenders (about 3 tenders per chicken breast). Season both side with sea salt and black pepper.
• Optional step if you have big flakes: Pour the coconut flakes into a ziploc bag and seal. Pound the bag several times to break up the flakes into smaller pieces.
• Arrange three bowls - one with beaten eggs, one with coconut flour, and one with a mixture of coconut flakes, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Dredge each chicken tender in the coconut flour, dip in the egg shaking off the excess), and finally press/roll in the coconut flakes. Place on the wire rack.
• Bake the chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and cooked through.
• Optional: Turn the oven to the broil setting. Broil on the top rack for about one minute, until one side is crispy. Flip the tenders over, then broil one minute on the other side.

COCONUT CHICKEN RECIPE (KETO + PALEO)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place a baking rack over a baking sheet, take some coconut oil and rub it over the baking rack to prevent sticking, and set aside. You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleaning up.
• Add the coconut flour to a bowl. Then add the salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Set this aside.
• Add 2 eggs to a new bowl, and stir to combine. Set this aside.
• Add the shredded coconut to another new bowl and set it aside.
• Line up the bowls, coconut flour mixture, eggs, then the shredded coconut. Place a clean plate nearby to place the chicken on once it is done being coated.
• Next, take the chicken breasts and dip them into the coconut flour, making sure to coat it all.
• Then dip the chicken into the eggs and make sure to cover it all in eggs.
• Finally, dip the chicken into the shredded coconut and press the coconut flakes into the chicken to help it adhere better. Set the chicken breasts on a plate. Do this with each chicken breast.
• Place coconut oil in the skillet and heat on medium heat. Pan-fry the chicken breasts on each side until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side. Then set the chicken on an oiled baking rack over a baking sheet. Do this for each chicken breast.
• Place the baking sheet with chicken in the oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until the juices of the chicken breast are clear and not pink. Serve the chicken warm.
