The other day, meaning yesterday, I was craving chicken strips. So that’s what I made. And dipped them in Maple Mustard Sauce. It was wonderful. Since two days ago, I’ve been craving chinese food. So I’ll probably be heading to one of my favorite cookbooks, Gather, for some chinese food tonight.
Speaking of cookbooks, a random winner was picked from my cookbook giveaway. I contacted her and she emailed back right away. So if you didn’t get my email, it wasn’t you. I’m sorry little love bug. But in about a month, I’ll be doing an even more exciting giveaway. So stay tuned!
I totally want to see the movie Labor Day…but I think it may be a tear jerker. I have a love-hate relationship with tear jerkers. I also want to see the movie Lone Survivor. That also looks like I’ll probably cry through the whole movie.
What’s up with people being rude on instagram? I’ll post a picture of something and they will say ‘omg, that looks disgusting’ (ps I’m saying that in a super annoying voice as I type it). I understand you have a right to an opinion and freedom of speech, but when you’re typing on your little smart phone, behind your little screen with no one to actually confront, that does not make you brave and bold and opinionated. That makes you a p*ssy. Straight up. It’s so easy to be rude over the internet and over our phones nowadays. So easy to bash other’s for their work. But then we don’t have to take any responsibility for our actions. So, Facebook/instagram/twitter angry person, your opinion doesn’t make you cool, it makes you a mean person. Even behind that little avatar of yours. And mean avatars totally don’t get delicious paleo treats made for them. Just a fact.
Moving on from mean people. This week is almost over!! Yayyyy!! I have so many plans for the weekend. Like seeing movies. And going to a showing of a home. They want a renter to move in Feb. 1st, which isn’t something I can’t do, so I’m hoping they just fall in love with me and let me move in later. Which is something that won’t happen. I’m guessing they have at least 20 renters who can move in earlier than I can. But a girl can dream, right? Keep your fingers crossed for me. Pretty please.
Crispy Chicken Dippers
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips (your choice is size)
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- pinch of salt
- coconut oil, for greasing pan
- Maple Mustard Paleo Chef Sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut chicken into strips.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg. In another shallow bowl, mix together coconut, almond flour and salt.
- Dredge chicken strips in the whisked egg, then straight to the coconut mixture. Coat on all sides then place on a plate. Repeat with all chicken strips.
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon or two to the pan. Once the pan is super hot, add the strips to the pan without crowding it. Cook for about 1 minute on both sides. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches depending how big the strips are.
- Place the strips on a cooling rack that has been placed on top of a baking sheet. This will help the chicken strips cook on both sides without getting soggy. If you don’t have a cooling sheet, you will just have to flip them half way through the baking.
- Place baking sheet in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until no pink remains inside the chicken.
- Let cool on baking sheet before serving. Dip them into maple mustard sauce!

I have never thought that anything you made looks disgusting, everything you make always makes me hungry. Especially these, I’m a sucker for chicken strips!
I appreciate how your photos are not “perfect”…the sauce has dripped down the side of the ramekin and you left it for the photo. Groovy.
Have you tried Steve’s Wing Sauce? If so, is it good? Hot?
yep! i like it!! i don’t think it’s super hot, but a lot of people say my food is pretty hot
So excited to make these! My parents taught me that, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say anything.” I think a lot of people have forgotten this when using the Internet and social media.
The family will love these! Haters and mean people can go jump off a cliff.
Will any other flour work in place of the almond? Nut allergy at our house! But I have also been really wanting some nugget/tenderish food lately.
I follow you on instagram and have been surprised by all the haters, too. Stupid people are everywhere, even hiding behind smartphone screens, I guess. I can’t wait to try out this recipe! I’ve had issues with the crust sticking on other “nuggets” or strips.
These look even better than regular crispers. I can just taste the yummy coconut. You saved me from giving into Chile’s.
I hope you get some kind of kick-back for sharing your favorite Paleo products because every time you do, I go online and order WAY to much! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!!

I am one of those weird people who hates certain textures, and coconut shavings is the worst of the worst in my texture book. Love the flavor, hate the stringy soft crunch. *cringe* These look delicious though and will probably help calm down my need to drive through [insert local fast food haven that serves fried chicken strips] and order them. It’s my first week transitioning into Paleo, and so far I’m loving it…but I also love carbs, so anything to subdue those cravings is awesome! Any advice on what to use besides coconut shavings that would still give it that crunch? Thanks!
p.s. obsessed with your blog & Instagram! Keep on keepin’ on girl! Rude people…”Ain’t nobody got time for dat!”
I put my coconut in a food processor to get a finer texture and it works great! I add the almond flour to it as well so I get a nice mix. It helps with the stringy texture of the cocount 🙂
I make mine with half coconut flour and half almond flour, which yields a pretty smooth texture.
