Gluten-Free Chicken Fingers
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: easy preparation in 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise into chicken fingers
- 2–3 egg whites, beaten
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch of pepper
- coconut oil for frying
Directions:
Pour 1–2 inches of coconut oil into skillet. Heat skillet to 350 degrees.
Pat chicken dry with paper towel.
Mix Parmesan cheese, coconut flour, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl.
Dip chicken fingers into beaten egg whites. Next, place them in the coconut flour mixture. Make sure to coat the chicken fingers well.
When the oil is heated to 375 degrees, add one chicken finger to oil to test. The chicken finger should fry for 4–6 minutes to completely cook. Adjust heat if needed and continue to fry the rest of the chicken fingers 3 to 4 at a time. Turn chicken fingers halfway through cooking.
Place fried chicken fingers on a paper towel–lined plate after frying. Keep warm in 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
