Ingredients

Battered Chicken

  • 1 lb of chicken breast or thighs cut into roughly 1/2" x 1/2" pieces
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 egg white
  • coconut oil for frying

Sauce

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoon B Grade maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 cup broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 medium roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup diced pineapple

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl add the diced chicken, egg white, tapioca flour and sea salt and mix until well combined.
  2. Place the coconut oil in medium size pan and heat the oil to 350 degrees; drop the batter in and fry until golden brown - roughly 5 - 8 minutes.
  3. TIP - When you drop the chicken into the oil, it will stick to your pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a fork to loosen it after a minute.
  4. Remove from the pan and set on a paper towel to drain the oil. Repeat until all the chicken is done. Set aside.
  5. In a large pan add the coconut oil, diced onion and garlic.
  6. Saute until the onions are translucent and then add the broth, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos and sea salt.
  7. Bring to a boil.
  8. Add in the battered chicken, pineapple, tomatoes and bell pepper.
  9. Mix to cover all the ingredients with the sauce, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  10. Enjoy!
