Here is a healthy twist on chicken strips. They are gluten free and full of good fats. They have a slight kick with a Mexican twist that will leave you wanting more.

Spicy “Fried” Chicken Strips

(serves 4)

1 1b chicken breasts (pastured boneless skinless)
2 TBS diary kefir or 1 large egg beaten (pastured)
1 cup almond flour (or almond pulp)
1 tsp salt (Redmond’s or Celtic)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
4 TBS coconut oil

Thinly slice the chicken breasts. Dip in the dairy kefir or beaten egg. In a separate bowl mix together the almond flour, salt, cumin, black pepper and paprika. Dredge the strips in the dry mixture and place in a greased glass baking dish. Place a few dollops of coconut oil on top of the chicken strips. Bake a 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.

Plate your chicken strips and serve with small ramekins of Spicy Avocado Cilantro Dipping Sauce and a big spoonful of cortido.

Spicy Avocado Cilantro Dipping Sauce

3 medium avocados
1 jalepeno
1/2 cup water
1/2 coconut milk (full fat)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup packed cilantro
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt (Redmond’s or Celtic)

Cut the avocados in half, removing the pits. Scrap the avocado into a blender. Add liquids and dry ingredients. Blend on high until smooth.

    What a wonderful, healthy treat! I really like that these are baked instead of fried, and you have used just the right amount of spices for a kick without it being too spicy. Your Avocado Cilantro Dipping Sauce sounds lovely too.
