Coconut Chicken Bites

Recipe Description:

A great alternative to chicken nuggets, these chicken bites have a nice coconut flavor and are gluten free.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Servings: 6

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1.5 pounds pastured boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup organic coconut flour

1/2 cup organic unsweetened, shredded coconut

1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt

1 tablespoon organic coconut sugar (optional)

2 organic free range eggs, beaten

organic coconut oil for frying

Recipe Instructions:

Cut the chicken breasts into large, bite sized pieces.

Combine the coconut flour, shredded coconut, salt and coconut sugar (if using) into a large plastic bag. Seal and shake until well combined.

Add the chicken pieces to the bag and shake until well coated.

Place the beaten eggs in a large plastic bag.

Add the chicken pieces and shake until well coated.

Add the chicken pieces back into the bag with the coconut flour mixture, and shake until well coated, pressing the shredded coconut into the chicken.

Using a large skillet, over medium-high heat melt enough coconut oil to cover the chicken at least half way.

Place each chicken piece into the hot oil in a single layer (do not crowd). Cook until golden brown on one side, turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Drain on a paper towel.
