Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · salad spinner (optional) · whisk or fork
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and set the rack in the middle; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond meal, shredded coconut, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg, then roll it in the dry mixture to coat; shake off excess and place on the prepared sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through, about 15–20 minutes.
- Halve and pit the avocado; cut the flesh into cubes in the rind and scoop into a small bowl.
- Mince the garlic, then mix it with lime juice, salt, and pepper; mash into a smooth paste with the avocado.
- Rinse the greens and wash the grape tomatoes.
- To serve, arrange the chicken on a plate and add the greens and tomatoes on the side; drizzle greens with a little olive oil and serve with the avocado dip.
Two tips
- Prep the chicken crust and dip components ahead; refrigerate separately for up to 1 day.
- If coconut isn’t on hand, substitute with extra almond meal to bind the crust, or serve the dip with extra lime wedges for brightness.
