Ingredients
- Chicken marinade:
- 250g chicken tenderloins
- 75g coconut joghurt (or regular joghurt)
- 40g olive oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic, fresh thyme, sweet pepper powder
Breading:- 20g Potex Pofiber (potato fiber) or some keto bread crumbs (can be made from leftovers)
- Salt, pepper, seasoning
- 50g olive oil
Salsa:- 1 medium tomato
- 1/2 avocado
- 10g red onion
- 30g Extra Virgin olive oil
- Fresh coriander
- Salt, pepper, lime juice to taste
Directions
- Step 1 Put coconut joghurt, olive oil, finely chopped garlic and seasoning into plastic zipper bag, mix well. Cut chicken fillet into chunks and add into the bag, mix well again. It is good if the chicken can sit in the marinade in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, but sometimes i make it one day before, then the meat will be very tender and it`s perfect for quick lunch or dinner.
- Step 2 Put potato fiber or bread crumbs on the plate, dip in the marinated chicken chunks and put onto lined baking sheet. Bake at 200C 15 minutes, flipping the nuggets once. Or fry the nuggets on the pan.
- Step 3 For salsa cut avocado, tomato and red onion into pieces, add a bit of lime juice, olive oil, coriander and season to your taste.

My name is Ingrid Joya. I am educator, coach, therapist, inspirational speaker and a mother for two gorgeous girls and one keto boy. My every day starts and ends with cooking, as inspiring and tiring as it sounds. I educate people on mindful eating and special diets (keto, low carb, gluten and caseine free etc) and provide personal consultations.
My son is on long-term ketogenic diet due to health reasons, that`s where my keto journey started. It was pretty rough in the beginning, but quite soon i realized that even very restricted diet (like keto) can be tasteful, versatile and enjoyable. I have learned that food is also our medicine, it heals our body, feeds our soul and brings us together. There is great power in every herb, flower, fruit and root, and in love we put into cooking. All together it is a playful journey from the ground to the plate.
Food, whatever kind, has to have three important components for me- it has to look good, it has to taste good and it has to be good for the body and soul! I started out writing down the recipes for me and my family, so it would be easy and fun for us to figure out what to cook tonight. Maybe you, who you are peeking through my kitchen door in this blog, will find little inspiration, too!
