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!

These are SO good. It’s like paleo bar food. I’ve made them three times now and each time I add different seasonings to the almond flour. You can put anything in there and it tastes great. Such a good idea, and kids would totally eat it too (I’m gonna have one soon so I think about these things).
These were great! Easy, and even my youngest liked them. Yum!
Could i use coconut flour in place of almond flour?
the texture will be very different
These are so tasty! Thanks for the recipe! For the non coconut lovers in the house I do half the batch with flax meal (1/4 cup) mixed with the almond meal. It gives it a whole grain feel and taste.
Can I use coconut flour in place of shredded coconut? Also, do I have to use coconut? I don’t like it all that much outside oil and desserts.
I’ve been craving chicken fingers and I love this recipe! The coconut gives them a nice crisp breading. Great recipe!
Hmm, I loved the look of these but found I had to cook them WAYYYY longer in the oven than 10-12 minutes. It took almost 30 minutes for the internal temp to come up to 165*. I was surprised because I purposely cut them up very thin, too. They were pretty dry by that point. Has anyone else had this problem and any good solutions?
This was great! I added a flour slurry to thicken the sauce a little (just personal preference). I also added yakisoba noodles and a broccoli stir fry veggie mix to make it into a very good stir fry. The pepper flakes give it just a tiny bit of bite.
Hey I eat paleo but my boyfriend doesn’t but we just made this and it has to be the best chicken we have ever made and he even loved it. the shredded coconut is what made this recipe so freaking delicious I think. So good!!!
I made these and they were great. I made so many (just for me), that I let some go cold. I think they could be great with a salad or on a picnic in the summer.
The U.K isn’t really geared up to Paleo yet, so all my recipes come from the Internet. Some aren’t that great, but this one is a definite keeper. Many thanks.
