Paleo "KFC" Chicken Tenders

Paleo "KFC" Chicken Tenders 

These are seriously going to change your life....delicious (better than KFC, but same consistency/flavor), gluten free, egg free and baked...NOT fried....unbelievable! 

 

 

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken Thighs, cut into strips

Wet mixture
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (I use Franks Original Hot Sauce)
• 5 Tbs Butter (Dairy or Nondairy)
• 1 Tbs Starch (Tapioca, Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
• 5 Tbs Milk (Dairy or Nondairy)

Breading
• 1/2 Cup Tapioca (Or Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
• 1/2 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Salt

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a microwave safe bowl combine wet mixture ingredients and heat until thickened in the microwave (1-2 minutes) or on the stove top in a sauce pan. If using the microwave whisk liberally as soon as you remove the bowl. If using the sauce pan- whisk continually while it thickens.
3. In another bowl combine breading ingredients.
4. Drop chicken strips into wet mixture and then heavily dredge in breading mixture; place on foil lined baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken strips have been coated. Drizzle chicken with a little oil.
5. Place chicken in oven for 35-40 minutes; chicken will be golden brown and cooked through!

Notes:

To make this recipe NUT FREE- use homemade Sunflower Seed Flour instead of the Almond!

Pizza Spaghetti Pie

Pizza Spaghetti Pie 

 

 

Prep Time: 20-30 minutes  / Serves: 3-4 / Cook Time: 1 hour

 

Ingredients

• 1 large spaghetti squash (about 600 grams)
• 1 pound italian sausage
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (no sugar added)
• 1 bunch of fresh basil (dried basil can be used too)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 eggs, whisked
• (optional: add anything you like with pizza: veggies, basil, even cheese if you do primal - I actually added some grated Parmesan into the mixture before putting it into the oven)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place spaghetti squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the skin of the squash gives when you press on it. Then reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
3. Once squash is done cooking, remove threads and place in an 8×8 greased baking dish.
4. Place a large pan over medium heat. Add italian sausage and onion. Cook until pink no longer remains in the sausage and it is broken up into pieces.
5. Add pizza sauce, dried basil and salt and pepper to the pan and mix well.
6. Add sausage mixture to the 8×8 dish and mix well with spaghetti squash threads.
7. Lastly, add whisked eggs to the baking dish and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.
8. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour or until the top of the mixture forms a slight crust that doesn’t give when you press on it in the middle of the dish.
9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
