Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1 tsp paprika (TRY: Simply Organic Paprika)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (TRY: Simply Organic Garlic Powder)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper (TRY: Simply Organic Ground Black Pepper)
- 2 eggs
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
Preparation
1. In a bowl, combine ½ cup rice flour, 1 tsp paprika and ½ tsp each garlic powder, salt and pepper.
2. Place 2 eggs, whisked, in a separate bowl.
3. Cut 2 chicken breasts into strips. Coat in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then back in flour and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F until no longer pink inside, flipping halfway, about 20 minutes.
Tip: When selecting chicken, look for organic varieties when your budget permits. Also ask your butcher about pasture-raised chickens or natural farms in your area that might follow similar methods without having the organic certification.
