Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 cup protein powder unflavoured, keto friendly
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tsp celery salt
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp chili sauce optional
- Coconut oil for frying, as needed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in small strips. Season with minced garlic, hot chili sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
- Whip the eggs in a bowl, add more salt and pepper. Immerse the chicken pieces in this mixture.
- In a plastic container with an air-tight cap, use half of the protein powder, season with salt, pepper and celery salt, consider the fact that you have already added salt to the chicken and make sure it doesn’t get very salty.
- Place the chicken into the plastic container, cover with the lid and shake vigorously until the chicken fillets are totally covered with protein powder. Remove the coated chicken pieces and place them on a cutting board ready for frying. Repeat this procedure until all chicken pieces are coated with the remaining protein powder.
- Put coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, gently add a few chicken pieces in to fry. Make sure to keep a space between each piece.
- Once it becomes golden, turn over to cook the other side. Remove and place on a dish with a paper towel to dry off the oil. Repeat the process until all chicken is cooked.
- Serve with your favorite keto-friendly sauce and some low-carb veggies such as celery, cucumber, etc. Enjoy!
