Paleo Chicken Goujons
Ingredients:
- 2 skinless chicken breasts (or 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs)
- 1 egg
- 50g Sukrin sesame flour (or use ground almonds)
- Optional: 50g sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika or smoked paprika
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Duck or goose fat for frying
Method:
- Cut the chicken breasts/thighs into strips each about the size of a big finger, to give goujon shapes. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Mix the sesame flour, sesame seeds, cumin and paprika in another bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
- Working in batches to ensure they don’t stick together, dip the chicken pieces in the egg and then in the sesame flour mixture to coat. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large frying pan heat the duck or goose fat and fry the goujons for 3-4 minutes per side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through. Check they are cooked through by cutting in to one; there should not be any pink meat. Drain well on kitchen paper.
Prawns with tomatoes, chilli, garlic, lemon & parsley
Serves 2
Ingredients:

- 150-200g jumbo prawns

- 1 bag rocket
- 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt & pepper
Method:
- Zest the lemon and put to one side.
- Add the olive oil to the pan then add the chilli and garlic.
- As soon as the garlic turns golden add the prawns and cherry tomatoes to the pan, cook for a couple of minutes stirring continuously so the garlic doesn’t burn.

- Serve the prawns over courgette spaghetti (or cauliflower rice). Sprinkle over the fresh parsley and the lemon zest.
