Crispy Coconut Chicken Nuggets
- 400 grams Organic Chicken Breasts (Minced If Possible)
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Pepper
- 1 whole Egg Yolk (Medium)
- 1/2 cups Desiccated Coconut
- 1/2 cups Coconut Oil
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- If you have minced chicken, then go straight to the next point.
- If you dont have minced chicken then into a blender place your chicken breasts and garlic.
- Blend on high-speed for about 10-15 seconds until you reach a paste-like texture.
- Into a separate bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the almond flour, paprika, salt, pepper and egg yolk.
- Add in the chicken mixture (or if your chicken was pre-minced, add the chicken and the garlic) and mix until fully combined.
- Onto a separate surface or baking sheet place the desiccated coconut and remainder of the almond flour and mix together roughly.
- Into a pan over high heat, melt coconut oil.
- Take 2 teaspoons of chicken mixture and roll it into a ball, then coat with the coconut and almond mix.
- Repeat until all of the chicken mixture is used.
- Add the nuggets into the hot oil making sure not to crowd the pan.
- Cook on each side for 3 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the cooked balls from the pan to a clean plate and repeat cooking the rest.
- Once all of the balls have been cooked on both sides transfer them onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for 4 5 minutes or until cooked through (cut one of the larger ones in half to make sure).
- Serve with a large side salad and homemade mango salsa dip and a wedge of lemon.
