Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup potato starch
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • 2-3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 lbs chicken breast sliced into tenders

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, combine eggs and mayonnaise. Once blended, pour the mixture into a shallow bowl.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk until well-combined.
  • In a large pan, add avocado oil until the bottom of the pan is completely covered. Turn the burner on to medium heat.
  • Dip chicken into egg bath, then in breading, and then place in a heated pan with avocado oil. Flip chicken after about 30-45 seconds. (We are only looking to brown each side, not cook the meat.)
  • Move browned chicken to the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove from oven once the chicken is fully cooked. Serve immediately and enjoy!
