Coconut Chicken Tenders
Healthy chicken tenders that are air-fried to perfection!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cups desiccated coconut
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Dried Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breast into pieces that resemble tenders.
- Prepare 3 plates. Add the beaten eggs to one, the coconut flour, desiccated coconut, salt, pepper and garlic powder to the other and leave the final one for the chicken pieces.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg then coconut mixture.
- Bake or air-fry these for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway. I air-fried them at 375°F/190°C, so they will require a higher temperature in the oven.
- You can serve these with a dipping sauce, fries, roasted potatoes, salad or even on top of risotto!
