Mark’s Coconut Encrusted Chicken Salad!

Many of you already know that I am a HUGE fan of MarksDailyApple.com!

Well, here’s another amazing recipe from his collection that I wanted to share with you.  Hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
½ cup almond flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
3 tbsp of virgin coconut oil
1 bag/8 cups of mixed salad greens or spinach
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice

Method:
Trim any remaining skin or white parts from the chicken breasts.  Rinse under cool water and pat dry.  On a cutting board, cut the chicken into strips somewhere between ½ an inch and an inch thick. Set aside. In a shallow dish, combine coconut flakes, almond flour and salt and pepper.  In a bowl, crack eggs and beat lightly. Dip the chicken strips first in the egg and then roll in the coconut/almond flour mixture.  Heat the coconut oil in the pan over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken strips until the exterior turns a golden brown and the inside is no longer pink. Remove from heat and place atop a bed of mixed greens. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately. Serves 4
