I sometimes get bored with chicken. I feel like it's the same ole same ole. So when I found this recipe I was very excited to take this new spin on chicken. It was definitely a hit with the husband! And I actually remembered to take a picture. A miracle I know!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup of almond flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
3 tbsp of virgin coconut oil
1 bag/8 cups of mixed salad greens or spinach (I just eyeballed it and filled a plate)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
On a chopping board, cut the chicken into strips somewhere between 1/2 an ince and an inch thick. Set aside. In a shallow dish, combine coconut flakes, almond flour and salt and pepper. In a bowl, crack eggs and beat lightly. Dip the chicken strips first in the egg and then roll in the coconut/almond flour mixture. Heat the coconut oil in the pan over medium-high heat and saute the chicken strips until the exterior turns a golden brown and the inside is no longer pink. Remove from heat and place atop a bed of mixed greens. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Serves 4.
