I love breaded chicken.. and fried chicken.. and french fries.. and potato skins. You get the picture. I admit sometimes I miss the taste of those foods, but I do NOT miss the horrendous feeling I would get after eating them. Here are my delicious Paleo versions that won't make you feel like crap.
Coconut Chicken:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breasts or chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
Mix coconut flour, coconut, and sea salt in a bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl. Coat chicken in egg then dip in dry mixture. Pan fry both sides on high heat in olive oil or coconut oil, then bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
*Serve with a heaping portion of veggies :-)
Sweet Potato Fries:
Ingredients:
- Sweet potato (1/2 a potato for each person)
- Olive oil
- Ground pepper
Cut raw sweet potato into thin slices. Toss with olive oil and pepper then cook on baking sheet at 370 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
*The trick to crispy fries is a small amount of olive oil (just enough to barely coat the potato pieces) and thin slices of sweet potato. I recommend baking on aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
