I got the idea from this website, by means of pinterest. I know mine don't look quite as amazing as those, but I also did mine a bit different. First of all, I used coconut flour, rather than the almond flour. No biggie-- just slightly more coconut flavor. Also, rather than using ground chicken, I cubed 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Now the total poundage was more than the recipe called for, so I had to make a little extra breading. Also, after the first few nugget/chunk/things, I noticed the breading wasn't sticking great, so no biggie-- I took the egg it called for (though, I added the white), and did an egg wash before dipping it in the coconut mixture. I baked them (another difference from the recipe-- I didn't want them fried!) at around 375 for 20 minutes or so. If you're unsure of the cook time, just pop one out and cut it. DON'T WAIT FOR THEM TO GET SUPER BROWN! As you can see from my pic, they won't get golden brown like on Health-Bent. I'll admit, they are a little crumbly because I don't have that nice crust on the outside, so if you want to pan fry, fry away. I just wanted to cut out some of the extra oils.
Now, we all know we have to have SOMETHING to dip the chicken in, right? On the right hand side of the pic, I've got tasty honey mustard sauce.
Oh no! Not paleo?! I beg to differ! I spent the afternoon concocting this paleo masterpiece. Yes...that's right...the girl that, while making hard boiled eggs this morning, forgot to turn on the water (O_o *sigh* sad, but true), managed to make her own mayonaise! (Granted, this was after one horribly messed up try, but you won't tell anyone, right?) Once again, thanks to Health Bent, I was able to make the base of my honey mustard sauce. (I subbed 1/2 grapeseed oil and 1/2 olive oil rather than use bacon grease). Once my wonderful mayo chilled out in the fridge, I scooped some out and mixed it with some honey and mustard (whod've thunk, right?) and made my sauce. You just do this to your taste, because everyone likes theirs differently. Simple.
Next up, I believe I'm going to try to do a cheese-less frittata, and see if it is something that will work as a quick reheat and eat breakfast. We shall see!
