Update: This is a revisit of my old post on Paleo Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders. I’ve updated the pictures and the recipe with the changes I’ve made over time. 

I’ve been gluten free for a few years now, and in some of my gluten free cooking I’ve also experimented with paleo recipes. I think they’re a lot of fun and I’m a huge fan of almond flour and coconut oil, which are in basically every paleo recipe.

So, in experimenting with paleo recipes, I came across this incredible recipe for paleo coconut chicken on pinterest, and added a few tweaks. The original recipe is from Beezy Body Fitness.

It is so fast and easy. The best recipes yield delicious flavor without a crazy amount of work, and this is one of them. These basically taste like chicken tenders with a hint of coconut and curry (or a lot of curry if you are like me).

Put the flour and seasoning in one bowl, eggs in another, and shredded unsweetened coconut in a third bowl. Dip chicken strips in egg, then flour, then coconut.

Trust me- you are going to want to make these all the time. So easy and delicious they will make you wonder why coconut and chicken aren’t always together.

They are the perfect main dish for a night when you don’t have too much time. The prep takes less than 10 minutes and they only take about 15 minutes to cook. Fast and easy, just how I like my cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb organic chicken tenders or chicken breast cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder (or more to your liking)
  • coconut oil

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil (you can also use parchment paper instead of oil, either works)
  • Mix flour and curry powder in one bowl, put eggs in a second bowl, and the coconut in a third bowl
  • Dip chicken strips into egg, then curry and flour mix, then coconut
  • Optional: Sprinkle additional curry powder on chicken tenders if you’re really nuts for it like I am
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 12-17 minutes, or until lightly browned on the outside and fully cooked

I like to eat these with mustard, but I bet they would go great with different kinds of sauces. Let me know how the recipe goes for you and any dipping sauces you use!
