THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb chicken tenderloins
• 1 and 1/2 - 2 cups blanched almond flour - an estimate use more if not sure
• 1 tsp fine grain sea salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg whisked
• 1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil for frying - you might need a bit more as you fry

INSTRUCTIONS

1. First, cut the chicken tenderloins into 1-2 inch bites sized pieces and set aside
2. In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper and mix well to combine the flavors
3. In another shallow dish, whisk the egg. Heat a large cast iron pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil or ghee. Before adding the chicken, make sure the oil is hot enough by dropping a bit of almond flour in the pan to see if it sizzles.
4. Since the chicken bites are small, you dredge several at a time and it will come out fine. Take the chicken and first coat in egg, then coat with almond flour mixture shaking off extra. Immediately add to the hot pan.
