Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 Cup Coconut Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 1 ½ Cup Coconut Flakes unsweet
- ½ Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Get out the chicken breasts and cut them into strips. I get about 6 chicken tenders per chicken breast.
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, lime juice, and honey. Whisk together and set aside. In another bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Get out a third bowl and add the coconut flakes.
- You will then take each chicken tender and dip it in the almond flour mixture, then egg mixture, and last but not least, the unsweetened coconut flakes. Be sure the chicken tenders get completely coated in each element.
- Bake the coconut crusted chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. For that extra crunch, broil for a few minutes at the end. I usually do this for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Remove them from the rack and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
