AD: PALEO COCONUT CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

I’m bringing you a paleo coconut chicken breast recipe because I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community, not to mention I’m trying to ditch the holiday 15. Sure enough, they bribed me with money as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. I will never understand the distances people go to get me in the kitchen!

Let me just start out by saying the only type of chicken I consume is boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Period. End of story. Call me a snob if you must, but anything else makes me gaggy. The first and last time I sent Michael to the grocery store for chicken was an awful experience because he came home with some clearance, store brand hot mess of a chicken.

Ugh!

I know antibiotic-free meat is becoming more mainstream but it doesn’t stop me from cringing when I think about that dinner. He should just stick with Sam’s Club grub because then I will eat (and enjoy) what I slave in the kitchen over!

PALEO COCONUT CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

To call a paleo lifestyle boring or bland would be a misnomer, which is why I am going to try my hardest to show all of the non-believers out there that paleo can give you that boom boom POW!

Spices:

1/2t Pepper
1/2t Cayenne Pepper
1/2t Garlic Powder
1/4t Salt
1t Chili Powder

Ingredients:

1c Almond Meal
1c Unsweetened Coconut
2 Eggs
Spices
4 Chicken Breasts (I used NatureRaised Farms for this recipe because their chicken breasts don’t contain preservatives, artificial colors, or fillers.)

#ad Paleo Coconut Chicken Breast Recipe requires you to pound the chicken breasts until they are even #natureraised #cbias

Step 1: Pound the chicken breasts until they are even and cut them in half to form 2 ‘tender like’ sized chicken breasts.

Step 4: I baked my chicken breasts at 350 for 15 minutes and the temperature of the meat came out to about 170 degrees. They were perfect!

Note: Be very careful not to overcook your chicken breasts because that is the quickest way to ruin a meal.

Did you know: NatureRaised Farms raise their chickens on independent farms.

So, how did my spicy coconut concoction turn out? Michael wen’t ga-ga and started thinking about ways to dress it up with the appropriate side dishes. Little Michael is a traditional chicken man and prefers his chicken sans breading. But…

Who cares what they think, the most important verdict is mine, of course!

Upon the first bite I noticed a nutty, coconut flavor that was inviting without giving off one of those textures that make me run for the zaa. About halfway through the bite I noticed the spice start to blend with the coconut flavor, giving me a delightful sugar and spice combination. I was then left with a pleasant punch that wasn’t too hot, but I absolutely knew something with a little va-va-voom tantalized my taste buds.

Two thumbs up, fo’ sho!
