Coconut Chicken Nuggets

 

Today’s recipe comes to your from the lovely Leah at Brisbane Paleo Family blog.

I saw her yummy chicken nuggets and asked if she would please share it with us and be part of our ‘Just Say NO to Nuggets‘ campaign.

“Hi everyone, Leah here! I am a Brisbane mother who is passionate about the Paleo lifestyle after losing 30kg and regaining my zest for life.  I organize the Brisbane Paleo Meetup Group, which has around 200 members and growing.  If you are interested in meeting up with like-minded people and attending fun events relating to all aspects of the Paleo lifestyle you can find out more here.

I think this quote sums up Paleo really well – “PALEO= a lifestyle and nutritional framework that relies on foods high in nutrient value, appropriate to our species and has its basis in evolutionary principles.”  Dr Anastasia Boulais Whole9 South Pacific

There is some really good information at the Eat Drink Paleo blog about what we do and don’t eat. Basically though, it’s a grain free, legume free, dairy free, refined sugar-free diet.

Being Paleo does not have to be difficult and you can make it work for your whole family.  It is about finding what works for you and aiming to do the best you can. This works for our family.  If you are interested in family friendly recipes and ideas you can follow me at Brisbane Paleo Family on Facebook and my blog. I hope you like my Paleo Coconut Chicken Nuggets!”

Paleo Coconut Chicken Nuggets

Vital Stats: Paleo, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Nut Free

Okay, so this is what you need:
2 chicken breasts cut into nugget size pieces
2 eggs whisked with 1/2 cup coconut milk

 

Okay, so this is how you do it:
·       Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius
·       Place coconut flour, egg and coconut milk mix and the shredded coconut into three separate bowls.
·       Line a baking tray with baking paper
·       Roll the chicken piece in coconut flour
·       Dip the chicken piece into the egg and then into the coconut
·       Coat it with shredded coconut.
·       Place chicken piece on baking paper.
·       Repeat with each piece.

·       Cook for 15 mins or until chicken is cooked through.

Be careful not to over cook as coconut can dry the chicken out. Serve with a lovely fresh salad and avocado.  I like to make a dipping sauce with coconut aminos (which is used as a soy sauce substitute but is Paleo friendly) and coconut vinegar.

 

Who in our community is Paleo? Do you have any tips?

  1. I did Paleo for some time and felt fantastic! I have a few friends now who follow the diet and love it! I do my fish with this sort of batter but hadn’t thought of doing it with my chicken. I’ll give it a go.

    • I have actually been unconsciously eating paleo for about a week, without realizing and yes, I do feel better….. maybe I need to investigate a little more!

  5. Now that’s my kinda chicken nugget recipe! Clients often ask me about healthy take-away-food-style meal options for home and this one looks to be something I can easily recommend to them. Thanks very much! Clint
