Garbage-Free, Grain Free, Chick-Fil-A Nuggets

April 26, 2023

Garbage-Free Chick-fil-A Nuggets! 🐔❤️

Ingredients:
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1/4 cup pickle juice
• 1 egg, mixed
• 2 tbsp whole milk yogurt/or amasai
• 1/4 tapioca starch (potato starch ok)
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt & black pepper (or more)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup coconut oil for frying

1. Cut your chicken into 1” chunks. Place the chicken in a ziploc bag and add the pickle juice. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
2. After 1 hour, open the bag and pour out any excess pickle juice. It does not have to be perfectly drained just not really juicy.
3. Mix the egg in a bowl. Then add the yogurt/buttermilk/cream and mix together. Pour into the ziploc bag. Let sit for five minutes but make sure the chicken is coated in the liquid.
4. Again, open the bag and pour out excess liquid if there is any. Texture is important at this point, the pieces should be wet but not swimming in liquid.
5. Prep your dry ingredients by stirring them all together in a bowl. Add to the bag and mix them together by shaking and rubbing the bag so it’s evenly coating the chicken.
6. Heat up skillet of coconut oil on medium heat.
7. Fry your chicken pieces, flipping every few minutes until nice and golden brown. It should take about 6-8 minutes per batch. Don’t overcrowd skillet
7. Drain chicken on a dish with paper towels as you cook the rest of the chicken
8. Enjoy!

Chick-Fil-A uses peanut oil to fry their chicken. At Erb family wellness we recommend avocado oil, olive oil & coconut oil as better alternatives especially non GMO & organic ones. Chick-fil-A’s 8 count nuggets have 1210mg of Sodium (Salt). This recipe is a healthy alternative if you can’t get enough Chick-Fil-A and are trying to have a healthy lifestyle without giving up the taste!

These literally taste almost identical!

*Pair with unsweetened organic ketchup or siete chipotle hot sauce. Or venture out to make your own advance plan ranch!

*Advanced Plan Approved*

You’ll need:
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2” thickness (or purchased thin cut)
3 Tbsp almond flour
2 Tbsp tapioca flour
4 Tbsp butter divided (kerrygold brand)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
3-4 cloves organic garlic, minced

1 Tbsp organic dijon mustard (optional)
1/4 cup capers drained
Sea salt and black pepper to taste

3. In a bowl mix together the almond flour and tapioca for dredging.
4. Add 2 Tbsp of butter & 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the skillet.
5. Once the pan is heated, lightly dredge the chicken, one cutlet at a time, in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, and place in the skillet. Cook about 4 minutes on each side to cook through. The outside should be golden brown – adjust the heat if you need to to avoid over-browning. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
6. Lower the heat to medium low and add the remaining butter & olive oil. Add onions, cook for a minute until translucent, then add the garlic. Cook and stir another minute, until softened.
7. Add the broth, heavy cream and lemon juice, then raise the heat to medium and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Cook for 3 more minutes, then stir in the mustard (if using). Cook and stir another minute, then stir in the capers.

Chantilly Cake Recipe 🍰🎂❤️
It definitely takes some time but it’s SO worth it!

Keto Vanilla Cake: 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour 1/2 cup coconut flour 2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup butter 1 cup granulated sweetener of choice 4 large eggs (one at a time) 1/2 cup almond milk or any milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two 8-inch pans with parchment and set aside. In a mixing bowl, add your almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. Set aside. In a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream your butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs in, one at a time, and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients and beat until creamy. Divide the batter evenly amongst the two cake pans, and smoothen out the tops. Bake for around 22-25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean (cake doesn’t taste great by itself-trust the process!)
Custard: 3 large eggs 2 cups heavy cream 1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease four 2 or 3 inch ovenproof ramekins and place in large baking dish. Whisk all ingredients in a bowl then transfer amongst ramekins. Pour enough boiling water in baking dish until ramekins are submerged in an inch of water. Bake for 30 mins/until firm on top.
Whip Cream: 1 pint of organic heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp of vanilla extract 1 tsp of stevita. Whip heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer in a bowl on high. Once it gets less soupy and more creamy add in the vanilla & stevita. Then continue to mix until it looks like whipped cream.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:
2 keto vanilla cake prepared and chopped* 1/4 cup milk (unsweetened almond or coconut or A2) 4+ cups organic berries 1 batch keto custard prepared* 2 cups keto whipped cream*

Lemon Juice provides an alkalizing effect on the body & good for the liver. Lemons are also full of Vitamin C and potassium. Research shows that the poly-phenols in lemons can promote weight loss.

Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which increases your metabolic rate. It raises body temperature, regulates blood sugar & stimulates the circulatory system.

Ginger is great for aiding in digestion, reducing bloated feelings and helps combat flu & cold symptoms.
