I love incorporating new ingredients & produce into recipes, but I also understand how overwhelming it can be to use a bunch of ingredients you’ve never heard of when starting a new diet. This “Baked Whole30 Popcorn Chicken & Fries” recipe is the perfect transition meal for anyone looking to ease into eating clean! If you don’t already have one, I HIGHLY encourage you to get a wire cooking rack as it really is key to getting that perfect popcorn chicken crunch! Check out the recipe below!

INGREDIENTS

For the Chicken:

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized chunks

  • 2 Eggs, beaten

  • 3 Tbsp Compliant Hot Sauce

  • 1 cup Almond Flour

  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour

  • 2 Tbsp Onion Powder

  • 2 Tbsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 to 2 Tbsp Chili Powder

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

For the Fries:

  • 3 Large Russet Potatoes, scrubbed

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 tsp Onion Powder

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place a wire cooking rack on top of one of the baking sheets, this will be used for the popcorn chicken.

  2. Cut your potatoes into roughy 1/2” fries, placing them on a paper towel once sliced. Using another paper towel to blot, absorb as much moisture as possible from fries.

  3. Toss your fries, olive oil and spices in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread your fries out on 2 baking sheets and bake for 20 minutes.

  4. While your fries are baking, in a small bowl, whisk your egg and hot sauce together. In a separate large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.

  5. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then in the almond flour. Place your chicken on top of the wire cooking rack and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping over halfway through.

  6. Once your fries have cooked for 20 minutes, it’s time to flip them! Turn them over and remove any golden brown ones you feel are done. Return the rest to the oven to bake for 20 more minutes, checking again after 10 minutes.

  7. Once your popcorn chicken and fries are both done, remove them from the oven, serve with your favorite Whole30 dipping sauces, and enjoy!
