Description

Imagine biting into a tender strip of chicken, the juicy meat yielding to a satisfyingly crisp coating. These delightful chicken dippers are perfect for a satisfying lunch, a quick and easy dinner, or a fun snack to share with friends. The chicken strips are first dipped in egg, then dredged in a flavorful breading made from shredded coconut, ground almonds, and a touch of zesty lime.

The combination creates a textural masterpiece – the slight chewiness of the coconut, the nutty depth of the almonds, and the bright citrus note of the lime all work together to elevate the simple chicken to something truly special. The ground almonds in the breading provide a delightful, slightly coarse texture that gives the dippers a rustic, homemade feel. Their robust texture creates a more substantial crumb, adding to the overall satisfying crunch.

Feel free to experiment with almond flour for a finer crumb, depending on your preference. These chicken dippers are incredibly versatile. Serve them hot with a side of your favorite roasted vegetables or a fresh, crisp salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Alternatively, arrange them on a platter with a selection of dipping sauces for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. The tropical notes of coconut and lime pair beautifully with a variety of flavors, from sweet and tangy to smoky and savory. Consider a vibrant chili sauce, a creamy avocado dip, or a rich and smoky barbecue sauce.

The possibilities are endless! Whether you're looking for a comforting weeknight meal or a tasty snack to share, these crispy chicken dippers are sure to become a new favorite. The combination of textures and flavors is simply irresistible, and the easy preparation makes them a convenient option for any occasion.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the coconut, ground almonds, lime zest, salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix well to combine. You may adjust seasonings and lime zest to preference. Crack the egg into a separate bowl and whisk to combine until smooth.
    2.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take each mini fillet one at a time and dip it in the beaten egg until well coated. Then, once coated in the egg, dip the chicken fillet in the coconut breading mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated in a thin layer of the crumb. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken strips.
    3.
    Arrange the coated chicken pieces in an even layer across a shallow oven tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until completely cooked through and the crumb is golden brown. Serve with your preferred low carb sides or dipping sauce.
