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!

Those do look good! Going to try them next week. I agree– people can be so rude online and say things they’d probably never say IRL. Your little rant had me laughing out loud, though. Your site is my favorite for paleo stuff. I like how you are sincere and real– it’s a lot easier than reading the blogs where they seem perfect and perfectly paleo all. the. time. Reading posts like that all the time is kind of discouraging, you know?
Making these asap! I’m hoping my kiddos like them 🙂
I saw this recipe this morning, and JUST made them!!! Absolutely delicious! I love all of your recipes! Don’t listen to the Negative Nancy’s out there 🙂
I’m fascinated by the idea of using coconut (partially) to bread chicken fingers. I have got to try these.
Also, I don’t follow you on instagram, but…why are people so RUDE? Gah. Civility is dead.
Oh these look amazing! Sometimes a bit of crisp on your chicken makes all the difference.
I’ve made these before, except put my shavings in the food processor first, briefly, to make them smaller. The smaller they are, the less you can taste them. So for the people wondering .. Or who don’t like coconut,… Try that method. 🙂
Amen sister!!! Social media and email has created a huge stage for bullies to intimidate from!! Yikes! Most of our mothers taught us “if you don’t have something nice to say…
Thanks for the recipe, looks yum yum!!
These look yummy, my family would love them. Question though, why the fry then bake? Could you just go straight to baking? I suppose the frying could help make them crispier (is that even a word?). Just curious. Thanks!
you absolutely could!! the fry gives it a little more color and crunch, from my experience 🙂
I am loving your 5 ingredients or less recipes. I think that could be a new series on your blog. 🙂 Happy Weekend Home Hunting!
every monday will have 5 ingredients recipes!
Totally want to make these for lunches. Looks quick and easy!
About those haters on IG or FB… BLOCK THEM! That way they can never do that again and see what other great things you have!
I totally have before haha!!
