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 am excited to try this recipe tonight. Looks yummy!!!!
This is the best Paleo chicken crisps recipe I have found. Overall you have an amazing site, and it’s keeping me healthy. Thank you
Absolutely LOVED these. I am new to the Paleo lifestyle and eager to try new recipes. I made about 3lbs of these for my family of 6, hoping to have leftovers for lunches. My 16 y/o son ate 15 by himself. I’m making them again tonight but making more now that I know how many he is going to eat. Btw, you are my “go to” first person when I’m looking for new recipes. You have a wonderful grasp on how to make everything tasty substituting out grains and dairy. I appreciate your hard work. I’m a true benefactor!
Best recipe for chicken fingers, they are amazing. Thank you I love trying your recipes 🙂
Just made these for the second time, and there were so delicious (again). I sub Trader Joe’s cashew meal for the almond meal, since it’s what I have on hand. And I made my own honey mustard dipping sauce:
Combine equal parts homemade mayo, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey and dijon in a small mason jar and shake. Salt and pepper to taste. One Tbsp ratios made enough for 2 servings.
Thanks for all you do!
Can you use sweetened shredded coconut for this? Will it cook differently?
Thank you.
i’m not sure, i haven’t tried. i don’t know if it would burn quicker with the sugar content but i wouldn’t think so
Can i find the sauce in a store somewhere? Im in CO also, so didnt know if you’ve found it around anywhere 🙂
i’ve seen many of their products at the whole foods in cherry creek but i haven’t looked for their sauce
Made these for lunch today for me and my boyfriend. We both really enjoyed them. 🙂
I was almost going to skip frying them and put them straight in the oven, but I’m glad I didn’t because I really liked the crispiness from the frying.
Can I freeze these after fully cooked? If so, what would be the right way to reheat without them being soggy?
yep, but they would definitely be more soggy then crispy
Where’s your homemade honey mustard? I made this before, n I thought a homemade mustard was part of it? It was fantastic!
