Coconut-Crusted Chicken Lettuce Wraps With Mango Lime Salsa

  1. Remove chicken from refrigerator to remove chill.
  2. Dice mango, bell pepper, and red onion. Mince cilantro and jalapeno. Add to a bowl with juice of one lime and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate. Cut chicken into small pieces, keeping the size consistent. (You can do strips or "nuggets," like I used in this recipe.)
  3. Crack egg into a small dish and whisk. Add coconut flour to another flat, shallow dish, and add shredded coconut to a third dish. Season coconut flour with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
  4. Start by dipping chicken into coconut flour, followed by a dip in the beaten egg, and finally, into the shredded coconut. Place onto a dish until you have "breaded" all of the chicken.
  5. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel pan to medium-high heat and enough coconut oil to coat the pan.
  6. Add chicken to pan and cook for about 3 minutes per side, depending on how thick your pieces of chicken are. You may need to work in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Add more oil as needed.
  7. After removing the chicken, sprinkle with salt while it is still warm if desired.
  8. To assemble, distribute lettuce leaves, add chicken, top with salsa and shredded cabbage. Serve with lime wedge.
