4 tbsp cornstarch

1 garlic clove
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Slice the chicken breasts into long strips to resemble chicken fingers.

2. Prepare the Breading Station:
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- In another shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, dried coconut meat, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Transfer the egg-coated chicken strip to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breading evenly on all sides.
- Place the coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Chicken:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the breaded chicken strips or use a brush to coat them lightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
5. Prepare the Yogurt Dip:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped parsley, lemon juice and zest, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
6. Serve:
- Arrange the baked sesame coconut chicken fingers on a serving platter.
- Serve hot with the yogurt dip on the side.

Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start preparing the chicken to ensure even cooking.

- Cut the chicken breasts into evenly-sized strips for uniformity, which helps in achieving a consistent cooking result.

- When coating the chicken, use one hand for wet ingredients (egg wash) and the other for dry ingredients to avoid clumping.

- For an extra crunch, you can add a few more tablespoons of sesame seeds to the almond flour mixture.

- Serve the chicken fingers hot and fresh out of the oven for the best taste and texture.

Serve your beautifully golden Sesame Coconut Chicken Fingers with Yogurt Dip on the side and enjoy every bite of this flavor-packed dish! Perfect for dipping, these chicken fingers are a delightful combination of crispy, savory, and refreshing that is certain to delight your taste buds and impress your guests.
