Breaded Coconut Chicken or Fish

 

Looks something like this

 

Gosh, I am no good at recipe titles! For those of you who do, please help!!!! Post a suggestion in “comments”.

I used this recipe long ago, when I first started paleo and really enjoyed it with tilapia, as well as with chicken. It makes basically breaded filets that are crispy and very tasty!

This recipe is derived from one available on paleoplan.com, but includes my modifications:

 

Ingredients

This recipe feeds 2-3 people, but can easily be adjusted to serve more.

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, OR white fish filets (such as tilapia)
• 1/2 cup almond flour, OR 1/4 cup coconut flour and 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• Salt and pepper to taste (I use kosher and way more than 1/4 tsp, but my family is BIG on flavor! This recipe is VERY mild, so add as much s & p as you like)
• 1 egg
• 2 -4 Tbs coconut oil (Use as much needed to thoroughly fry the filet and moisten the breading.)

Instructions

1. Mix flour, shredded coconut, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
2. Beat egg in separate bowl.
3. Dip chicken breast in egg and roll in dry mixture.
4. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add coconut oil when hot.
5. Pan fry chicken until fully cooked.

This is so delicious and so very quick, like I said, especially if you are frying fish. This goes well with a fruit and/or salad too!
