Equipment

  • Air Fryer or Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 + ½ Pounds Chicken Breast
  • ¾ Cups Finely Shredded Coconut Unsweetened works best!
  • ⅓ Cup Teriyaki Sauce
  • ¼ Cup Cassava Flour Or any gluten-free 1-1 flour blend.
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting chicken breast into bite sized cubes, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Next, mix shredded coconut, cassava flour, and salt together. In a separate bowl, whip the egg.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the whipped egg, then into the flour mixture. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or into your air fryer. Repeat until all of the chicken is coated.
  • Cook the chicken at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes in the air fryer or oven. (The oven might take longer.)
  • Toss the hot chicken in the teriyaki sauce until each piece is fully coated. Serve hot!

Notes

Helpful Tips

  • Marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce overnight or for a few hours for a stronger flavor.
  • Top the chicken with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions for added flavor and texture!
  • If you're egg-free, use the teriyaki sauce to coat the chicken before the flour mixture. It works just as well!
  • Try to keep the chicken spaced out when they're baking so they can crisp up!
  • Do not overcook the chicken or it will come out dry.
  • Serve this dish as is or with white rice and steamed vegetables!

How to store and re-heat leftovers

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. I have not tried freezing the chicken, but I imagine they would freeze great!
To re-heat you can microwave them, bake them for a few minutes, or pop them back in the air fryer for about 5 minutes! (My personal favorite option.)
