EASY BAKED COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE - PALEO & LOW CARB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Place a nonstick wire rack onto a lined baking sheet. Spray or brush the rack with oil.
• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then cut into tenders (about 3 tenders per chicken breast). Season both side with sea salt and black pepper.
• Optional step if you have big flakes: Pour the coconut flakes into a ziploc bag and seal. Pound the bag several times to break up the flakes into smaller pieces.
• Arrange three bowls - one with beaten eggs, one with coconut flour, and one with a mixture of coconut flakes, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Dredge each chicken tender in the coconut flour, dip in the egg shaking off the excess), and finally press/roll in the coconut flakes. Place on the wire rack.
• Bake the chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and cooked through.
• Optional: Turn the oven to the broil setting. Broil on the top rack for about one minute, until one side is crispy. Flip the tenders over, then broil one minute on the other side.

Steps:

• Place the seasoned flour in a shallow plate, the beaten egg on a second plate and mix the breadcrumbs and coconut on a third plate.
• Dust each piece of chicken in seasoned flour and dip in the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
• Half fill a large deep frying pan with the oil and heat until a cube of bread dropped in the hot fat browns in 30 seconds. Fry the chicken, in batches, in the hot oil for 4-5 mins until crisp and golden brown and cooked through. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
• For the dip, mix together the curry paste, yoghurt and lime juice until smooth. Spoon the dip into a small dish. Serve the hot chicken on a bed of spinach leaves with the dip.

BAKED CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Roughly chop the coconut so it's about the same size as the Panko pieces. Combine it with Panko and spices in a shallow dish. Mix well to distribute all of the spices.
• Place the flour in another shallow dish, and the eggs in another. Give the eggs a quick beating.
• Working with one chicken tender at a time, dredge in flour and then dip in egg, and then finally coat in the coconut Panko mixture. Press in with your fingers to make sure the entire thing is well coated.
• Place chicken tenders on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I give mine a tiny drizzle of olive oil on top to help them crisp nicely.
• Bake in your 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until juices run clear. Try not to overcook them because chicken tenders go from perfect to overcooked really fast! If your tenders are on the small side, they could even be done in about 15 minutes so keep an eye on them. If they're big they can take more like 25. The coconut will be nice and golden and the Panko crisp, but light in color still.
• To make the dipping sauce, combine the preserves, rice wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended.
