Sweet & Spicy Paleo Chicken

Ingredients

500 gms tender chicken breasts

2 1/4 cups almond flour

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

2 eggs

1/4 cup corn flour

3/4 cup honey

1/3 cup hot chilli sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

for the garnish

1 tsp chopped parsley

yoghurt or sour cream

Method

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees celsius.
• In a bowl mix together the almond flour, sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
• In another bowl whisk the eggs together along with 2-3 tbsp water.
• Beat the chicken tenders(you can make them into smaller pieces i.e one chicken breast can be cut into two pieces) with a kitchen hammer lightly.
• Now dip each chicken tender in the corn flour, then in the whisked eggs and then in the mixed almond flour. Place the coated chicken tenders on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or the chicken starts to turn crispy.
• In the meantime, start preparing the sauce. In a saucepan mix together the honey, hot sauce and garlic powder. Bring this to a boil over a high flame and keep it aside.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and dip each tender in the sauce.
• Heat a non stick pan, place the chicken tenders and roast for a few minutes(2-5) on one side, then turn over and roast the other side of each chicken tender, so as to allow the sauce to caramelize on the chicken pieces.
• Transfer onto a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining sauce on the chicken tenders.
• Garnish with dollops of yoghurt or sour cream and chopped parsley leaves.
