If you need paleo chicken nuggets (with no almond or coconut products), here you go. Original recipe from Health-Bent using the same technique for making fish sticks.
1 lb chicken cutlets
1 small bag (4 oz?) plantain chips
mix of butter and olive oil
salt
garlic powder
onion powder
Slice cutlets into strips. Crush chips into crumbs using (1) food processor or (2) ziploc bag + wooden mallet + small child. Toss chicken strips with crumbs until coated.*
Heat butter and oil (about 1 Tbsp each) in skillet. Brown strips on one side; flip. Brown on other side. Reduce heat and let sit until cooked through, a few minutes. Drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add a little extra olive oil to the pan for repeat batches.
When you are done, you will have some plantain crumbs stuck in the pan. If you want something really yummy, cut up leftover potatoes and cook them in the pan, scraping up the crunchy plantain bits to mix in.
*My crumbs stick to the chicken ok, but not great. If you want to make this harder, feel free to dry your chicken and coat with egg wash before dipping in crumbs. I'm all about creating less dirty dishes, so this is good enough for us.
