I admit I still have cravings for foods I can’t eat. Typically attempts to recreate or purchase something pre-made are a great disappointment.
Well, not tonight.
I really wanted breaded chicken strips. Every once in a while, I really love breaded chicken strips – in a salad, with honey mustard, you know stuff like that.
I’ve made a few attempts at breaded chicken over the last few months and the Nan didn’t approve. I’ve tried almond meal, coconut flour, etc. They were okay, but not great.
Well, tonight I tried something a little different. And it was AWESOME!!!!!!! (even the Nan approved)
It hit the spot, which I haven’t really been able to say about a lot of the foods I’ve tried over the last six months (especially pre-made foods).
Since I can’t enjoy a nice cold one, I tried J.K.’s Solstice Hard Cider. I had tried a gluten free beer (corn based) a couple of months ago and was sorely disappointed. It tasted sort of like super watered down raspberry soda (it was a “raspberry ale”). Well, I was definitely not disappointed in the Hard Cider. It was crisp and delicious, refreshing and definitely observed the law of one-itudes.

Gluten Free Chicken Strips!
Ingredients
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup almond meal
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon celtic sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayanne pepper
- Freshly ground pepper (I didn’t measure it out, it’s a pain to measure while grinding)
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Rinse chicken and pat dry. Slice chicken breast thinly, about a ¼ inch thick.
- Heat oil of your choice over medium heat (about ⅛-1/4 inch deep) in a skillet/frying pan.
- Mix all dry ingredients well in a shallow bowl.
- Beat the 2 eggs.
- Dip the chicken in the beaten eggs and dredge through in the almond/tapioca mixture. Place in heated oil and cook until golden on both sides.
- Serve with your choice of dipping sauce (I’m partial to honey mustard or jalapeno yogurt dip) or slice for use in a salad.
