Paleo Popcorn Chicken

10 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 5 ounce bags of plantain chips (about)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. 1
    Grind the plantain chips in a food processor or blender until they become like coarse bread crumbs. Add to a medium-sized bowl.
  2. 2
    Prepare the other two bowls for dredging. In a second medium-sized bowl, combine the egg and coconut milk. In the third bowl, add the tapioca flour.
  3. 3
    Set a large frying pan on medium-high heat and add the 1/4 cup of coconut oil. Keep the oil nearby and add more by the tablespoon as you cook in batches.
  4. 4
    Cut the chicken breast into small chunks. Season with the sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika.
  5. 5
    In batches, dredge in the tapioca flour, then egg and milk mixture, then coat in the plantain chips. Shake off excess flour and egg/milk before dredging in the next step.
  6. 6
    Once the pan is hot, fry in batches. Flip the chicken pieces after 5 minutes and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. Place on a paper towel lined dish to drain the excess oil.
