Coconut Chicken Strips with Blackberry Mango Sauce

Servings: 4-6
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

• 1/2 cup milk of choice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 large chicken ^[1] breasts, cut into strips
• 1 cup coconut flakes ^[2]
• 1/4 cup flaxseed ^[3] (optional)
• 1/4 cup potato flour (or other flour)
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt ^[4]
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin ^[5]
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder ^[6]
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger ^[7]
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ^[8]

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup blackberries
• 3/4 cup mango, diced
• 1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1 teaspoon organic fermented soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon tapioca starch

In a bowl, combine milk and lemon juice. Add chicken strips into milk mixture and let sit for a few minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and mix well. Gently coat each chicken strip in dry mixture and place in a skillet to fry or on a greased baking sheet. Pan fry in olive or coconut oil or bake at 400 °F for about 20 minutes (turning halfway through) or until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken is baking, place sauce ingredients in a small blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a saucepan. Bring mixture to boil, stirring constantly and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving with chicken strips.
