Ingredients

Serves 2–3

  2 skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes

  1 cup coconut milk

  1/2 cup coconut flour

  1/2 tsp ground cumin

  1/2 tsp tumeric powder

  1/2 tsp ground coriander

  1/3 cup unsweetened desiccated or finely shredded coconut

  A pinch of salt

  1 tbsp coconut oil, melted

  4 large lettuce leaves from an iceberg or cos lettuce, to serve

  

Salsa:

1 avocado, peeled, stoned and cut into small cubes

  1 mango, peeled, stoned and cut into small cubes

  1 tbsp fresh cilantro, torn

  1 red onion, peeled and finely diced

  1 red chili, finely diced

  2 tbsp coconut aminos

  

Step 1

Put the chicken cubes in a bowl with the coconut milk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the mango salsa. Mix the avocado, mango, cilantro, onion and chili together in a bowl and pour over the coconut aminos. Refrigerate until needed.

  

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  

Step 4

Put the flour and spices in a bowl and put the desiccated coconut on a plate.

  

Step 5

Take a chicken cube, roll it in the spiced flour, then roll it in the desiccated coconut until it is well coated, then put it on a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining chicken cubes.

  

Step 6

Pour the melted coconut oil over the chicken and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown and crispy.

  

Step 7

To serve, put a spoonful of the mango salsa into each lettuce leaf, add a few chicken nuggets, fold in the sides of the lettuce to enclose it and eat like a sandwich.
