Healthy Fried Chicken (Paleo Friendly)

Craving some comfort food but don’t want to wreck your goals? This “healthy” fried chicken recipe will hit the spot and keeps you on target with your nutrition goals...win win situation!

I originally got inspired by this recipe I found at this link but decided to use my own twist using my all-time new favorite company KNOW FOODS breadcrumbs. The original recipe called for cornflakes, which doesn’t coincide with the paleo-esque lifestyle I choose to live.

Rather, I used KNOW FOODS breadcrumbs which are made out of superfoods like almonds, coconut, chia, and flax to do the job and it worked perfectly!

Paired with a KNOW FOODS waffle and Walden Farms zero calorie maple syrup, you got yourself a delicious and healthy, low carb, Paleo-version of Fried Chicken & Waffles!

You’re welcome.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (organic if possible)
• ½ tsp each black pepper and garlic powder
• Sea salt to taste
• 2-3 eggs
• Dash natural hot sauce or red chili pepper flakes
• 1 cup - 1 ½ cup Know Foods breadcrumbs
   

Directions:

1. Place a skillet on high heat and preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Put chicken in a Ziploc bag, add seasoning, seal bag, and massage until     combined
3. Put eggs in a bowl. Add chicken and hot sauce/red chili pepper flakes. Coat chicken with mixture.
4. Put KNOW FOODS breadcumbs in a Ziploc bag, close the bag, and shake the bag until the chicken is fully coated.
