Paleo Crispy Coconut Mango Chicken with "Rice" . (Gluten/Grain/Dairy/Egg Free)

Egg free and grain free friends flock to me now! IF you enjoyed my Paleo 'KFC' Chicken Tenders, you will love this recipe! It builds on the basic crunchy texture of that recipe but swaps out hot sauce for Coconut, Mango, and Ginger. Along with the Chicken I created a Mango-Coconut Sauce for dipping!

Before creating this recipe, I did my research and I noticed that many of the coconut-mango flavored chicken recipes did not include fruit in the battering process. I wanted to find a way to add mango flavor straight to the chicken! (rather than just have it only in the dipping sauce)

I pureed some mango to include in the 'wet ingredients,' for my chicken batter and also threw in some freshly grated ginger. Magic happened. Just wait until you try this heavenly perfectly flavored crunchy chicken.

If you would like, add 'Cauli-Rice,' to make this a complete meal! Try my Ginger Fried Cauli 'Rice! Or of course- you can always just eat this meal with regular white rice too!

Notes

When dredging the chicken remember to get excess wet mixture off the chicken before placing in the breading!

If you'd like to sub shrimp for chicken, use the recipe as is but replace chicken with 1 lb of shrimp!
