Coconut Chicken Strips & Pineapple Salsa

Coconut Chicken Strips & Pineapple Salsa

FOR THE COCONUT CHICKEN STRIPS:

INGREDIENTS:

  1. 2 pastured chicken breasts
  2. 2 eggs
  3. 1/2 c. coconut flour
  4. 1 c. unsweetened coconut flakes
  5. 1 t. sea salt
  6. Generous sprinkle of Paleo Living Poultry Seasoning
  7. 1/2 t. sea salt
  8. 2-4 T. Avocado Oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil.  Whisk 2 eggs with 2 T. water in a large bowl and set aside.  Slice the chicken breasts in half width-wise (like you're going to butterfly it).  Then slice each half into 3 long slices, yielding 12 strips total.  Place the strips in the egg mixture to soak.
  2. Whisk together coconut flour, coconut flakes, salt, pepper, and Paleo Living Poultry Seasoning in a separate bowl.  One at a time, move one piece of chicken into the coconut mixture and coat fully, then transfer to the hot pan.  Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  3. Work in batches of 4-6 at a time, adding more oil in between batches as needed.  Move chicken to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.  Sprinkle with sea salt and serve with Pineapple Salsa.

  1. 1 medium red onion
  2. 1 bunch cilantro

  6. 1 t. sea salt
  7. 1/2 t. pepper
  8. 2 medium tomatoes
  9. 1/2 pineapple, cubed

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Place onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, avocado oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.  Mix until well-incorporated, about 30-60 seconds, scraping down the sides in between.
  2. Add the tomato and pineapple and pulse in intervals until chunky and broken up to desired consistency.
