Coconut Chicken ? Where have you been all my life?? Coconut and chicken is one of those perfect combinations that satisfies both flavor and crunch!
I have been working on new recipes to share exclusively in my February Clean Eating 101 group that I will be running on Facebook and my goal is to have a variety of dishes that work with different meal plans: Gluten Free, Paleo, Low Carb, No Carb, Vegetarian. I love to make sure I have something for everyone. Even better, all recipes will fit within the Fix Nutrition plan that I follow!
This recipe is completely Paleo-friendly!

- One piece at a time, dip chicken first into the bowl of egg and then into the bowl of coconut.
- Lay chicken on a plate and repeat until all tenders are coated.
- Repeat until you have done all the chicken strips then place to the side.
- Heat the coconut oil over in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the chicken has cooked all the way through.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
